Candy del Mar is an American bass player. She has played in many bands Satan's Cheerleaders, The Cramps, Andy G And The Roller Kings and Los Primos among others.
Satan's Cheerleaders is a garage rock band formed around 1985. The formation has been changing during the years, but it counted with Bryan Gregory, Candy Del Mar, Gina Brune, Jeff McCann, Mark Chapman, Rod Wilson, Scott "Hacksaw" Dellamorte, Steve Pallow, Steve Savage and Wade Kramer during the different line ups.
The Cramps were an American rock band formed in 1976 and active until 2006. Their line-up rotated frequently during their existence, with the husband-and-wife duo of Lux Interior and lead guitarist Poison Ivy comprising the only ever-present members. In 1986 Candy del Mar (of Satan's Cheerleaders) joined in bass and made her recorded debut with The Cramps with the raw live album RockinnReelininAucklandNewZealandxxx, which was followed by the studio album Stay Sick in 1990. She left the band in 1991.
Hailed as a "New York super group" that reflects upon the '50s roots of rock & roll, R&B and soul, Los Primos picked up right where the Devil Dogs left off after their 1993 break-up. Featuring the Fabulous Andy G on guitar and vocals, and Mighty Joe on drums, the band are also accompanied by ex-Cramps bassist Candy Del Mar and saxophonist Pete Linzel formerly of the Raunch Hands. Crypt Records immediately took notice and released their first seven-inch single "On My Floor" in 1995. Candy del Mar carry on playing with Andy G And The Roller Kings releasing a 10" in 2001 on Sympathy For The Record Industry.
