Macmono and the Stereotypes

Mark Robertson, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, frontman of Montreal’s internationally acclaimed pop band Bullfrog, has toured Europe and America as guitarist for Kid Koala, bassist for Money Mark and showcased his unique artistry as a solo artist. Robertson has shared the stage with heavyweights such as Marcus Miller, Manu Katché, and Vernon Reid, and has opened for renowned artists like Maceo Parker, The Wailers, Michael Franti & Spearhead, SoulLive, Yaël Naim, Martha Highs and many more. With a catalog that includes two Bullfrog EPs featuring Kid Koala, as well as the LP on RopeaDope Records / WEA USA, Robertson co-wrote for Kid Koala’s celebrated record "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" and DJ Vadim’s "Reconstruction LP." His first EP, "Deeper Shade of Green," launched him into the spotlight, leading to performances at Canadian Jazz Festivals, including a memorable set at the Montreal Jazz Fest in 2004. Robertson's debut LP, "Favorite People," premiered in 2008 at the Montreal Jazz Fest, where he performed solo at the prestigious Place des Arts and with a full band on Ste-Catherine St. The album was later re-released in Europe by SoulBeat Records in 2009, highlighted by a feature on Arte TV’s "One Shot Not," alongside legends Marcus Miller on bass and Manu Katché on drums. With influences from classic songwriters such as the Bee Gees, Randy Newman, and Curtis Mayfield, Robertson’s mellow, soulful, urban folk album "Made Easy for Guitar" was released in 2020 with BongoBeat Records. It features the single "Winter Daughter," showcasing his distinctive style and songwriting prowess. Robertson released his new project, “Macmono and the Stereotypes,” set for 2026, where he returns to the funky, lo-fi sounds reminiscent of Bullfrog, blending faux-disco, roller-rock, and country-funk with soulful urban folk. His latest single, “Mama’s Got a Brand New Hip,” was released in fall 2023. Additionally, he recently recorded guitar parts for Kid Koala's latest film, "Space Cadet," further cementing his position as a versatile artist in the music industry.
