Who was Mark Tulin?

Mark Shalom Tulin was the bassist with The Electric Prunes. They had hit singles with "I Had Too Much To Dream" and "Get Me To The World on Time". In particular, "I Had Too Much To Dream" is regarded by many critics as a defining song of the psychedelic and garage rock music, appearing on the famous Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 compilation in 1972. In the late 1990s, renewed interest in The Electric Prunes led to a reunion of the original lineup. Since then, the band has toured and released albums consistently.

Tulin gained much mainstream attention in 2009 when it was announced that he was joining The Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan in the studio to demo songs for what would become the band's eighth full length album Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. Tulin met Billy Corgan in 2008 when Corgan was recording music with The Seeds front man Sky Saxon. In an interview with the band's official Web site, Tulin praised these sessions with the band saying they were times of "limitless possibility" and that the new music was "...interesting, innovative, and arresting."
