Their music videos received airplay on more than 50 video shows[15] on the top cable channels in the 1980s. MTV's "120 Minutes" aired the music videos for the songs "Suddenly Sunday" and "Thirteen Ghosts." SuperStation WTBS also aired the music video "Suddenly Sunday" on their show "Night Tracks".{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} For a brief time, between 1991–1993, the band shortened their name to "Overcoat."[16][17] The band stopped touring in 1996, but re-formed in 2000[18] to record through 2011.[19] Although the band played its last concert in 2008,[20] many contemporary garage bands{{which|date=January 2019}} have cited The Marshmallow Overcoat as a chief influence.[21][22] In addition to nine full-length album releases, singles and vinyl EPs, The Marshmallow Overcoat appear on compilation albums released in the US, UK, Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Germany.[23] Their recordings have received airplay on radio stations in the US and abroad.[2] In 2013, Timothy Gassen ran a successful Kickstarter campaign[24] to release a 30-song "best of" audio collection as a 2-LP colored vinyl set.[25][26][27] The band's name, The Marshmallow Overcoat, was inspired by dialog in Martin Scorsese's 1978 film The Last Waltz.[1] MembersTimothy Gassen is lead vocalist and band leader. Other members include Scot Gassen (drum kit), Dan Magee (bass), Chad White (guitars), Matt Rendon (guitars, bass, drum kit), Bill Kurzenberger (keyboards), and Debra Dickey (keyboards).
