"Dork of the New Church" Group
"Freedom of Speech"
Yeah you just be careful what you say here at "Myspace."
Perhaps Myspace didn't like 400 members recanting how Steven Marque hires people at $.50 an add to spam myspace members as a tool for his "celebrity."
Cheers to Raine for begining the group in Stiv Bators name
and dragging us all out of the closet to tell the Truth.
Shame on Tom/Myspace for caving to the charlatan SM and Deleting this Group!
For those of you who missed it, Steven Marque owns the trademarks / logos to the 80's band LORDS of the NEW CHURCH and licenses their merchandise as a vehicle to promote his own "music" project.
I have reposted the Truth from Raine's Group below regarding Steven's Hijacking of THE LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH

Truth is the sword of us all (Steven Marque included!), and now is the time for the truth to come forth.................READ ON!!
ADD ON!!
SPREAD THE WORD!!
TRUE FRIENDS AND FANS OF STIV AND THE LORDS.....PLEASE SPREAD THIS LINK!
StevenMarque(myspace)!! Bought THE LORDS of THE NEW CHURCH!
Anyone familiar with the legendary Deadboys singer STIV BATORS may still be confused as to how his later band The LORDS of the NEW CHURCH could have possible reunited in 2002 without the late BATORS, who died after a car hit him in Paris in 1991.
NOW IT CAN BE LEARNED!!
The story of how a wealthy 38 yr old yuppie from Jacksonville, Florida, hijacked THE LORDS of the NEW CHURCH band trademarks and logo in an attempt to seek his own instant celebrity and play "Gothstar".
A simple Trademark search reveals one STEVEN BLANKFIELD "MARQUE" as having ownership to the name and licensing official LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH merchandise for his own personal gain.
Although founding members Brian James of the Damned and Dave Tregunna of Sham 69 attempted to salvage the hijacking, STEVEN MARQUE's well financed legal strategies and grave lack of talent effortlessly drove the last nail into BATOR's sad legacy.
Exhibit A - One under produced and unsigned 2003 LORDS of the NEW CHURCH "Hang On" CD.... in which MARQUE's vocal tracks are poorly dubbed over the band making an honest run at it with LUSTKILLERS' vocalist Adam Beevare.
Why two singers appear on the CD is not as much a question as why Steven MARQUE's vocals appear at all.
The answer is MARQUE's ownership of that which was never his, THE LORDS infamous Dagger logo and band Trademarks.
It all began in 2001 when MARQUE approached Brian James with the offer of posting an official LORDS of the NEW CHURCH website. MARQUE quickly learned the trademarks to be used were no longer protected due to laws of abandoment and ceased the moment to make them his own.
Despite endless scathing reviews of MARQUE's rare 3 song live European appearances with THE LORDS, he continues to police and license THE LORDS and merchandise as his own cutting founders James and Tregunna clearly out of any said profits.
BRIAN, DAVE AND STIV's FAMILY DO NOT SEE A DIME FROM LORDS!!!!
StevenMarque continues to book autograph appearances as "thee LORD of the NEW CHURCH" in attempts to peddle his own solo career.
DO NOT PROVIDE THIS PERSON ANY PUBLICITY!!
Steven admits to his purchasing the trademarks in this 80's Music.com Interview-
80s Music: Why have you chosen now to reform?"
StevenMarque: It's really less a reformation, and much more a new chapter in the Book of the Lords. We have maintained all of the dark sensibilities and humor - we also have retained The Lords trademark, blowtorch illuminations of this modern mortal coil."
FRIENDS, DON'T BE FOOLED: OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
Typical SM policing of THE LORDS Trademarks and Constant Legal Threats Follows....... March 26, email recieved from nonother then Steven Marque himself!:
