MU330 |
|---|
MU330 (pronounced "em-you-three-thirty", or "muso" as in musically aware) are a ska punk band formed in 1988 in Saint Louis, Missouri. The original members met in Saint Louis University High School music class 330 (hence the name of the band).
MU330's lineup has changed frequently, but the foundations of the band remained intact — Potthast, Diebold, Bell, and Moll.
The band is self-described as "psycho ska" and are known for their lively performances and a general ethic of fun and optimism. At the shows spectators encouraged to do the power skank, where fans hold their arms straight out in front of them and jog in place. They have been known to break out chainsaws and other wacky devices during their shows, proclaiming themselves the "Kings of Rock and Roll".
Their lyrics cover topics from racism to love songs to testicular cancer. Their lyrics, as well as the band, have matured since their inception in 1994. In their debut album they had songs like "Danska," "Stuff," and "Fleeba" (about a smelly girlfriend, being horny, and being fat respectively) to newer more mature themes. They also changed their sound from farther out, more experimental ska songs to a more mainstream sound.
Singer Dan Potthast has also released solo work and has also started a second band The Stitch Up with former Slow Gherkin frontman James Rickman. Drummer Ted Moll has a side project band called Bagheera.
