MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE

Punk / Rock

 

Mindless Self Indulgence is a NYC based co-ed punk band whose name manifests itself during their incendiary live shows. Mindless Self Indulgence is also referred to as "MSI" by their loyal fans. MSI's music is a hybrid of Atari driven electronics with a venomous splash of A.D.D Punk Rock. They are the breath of fresh air that is sure to offend your p.c. restrained, category demanding, humorless peers. The Band consists of four members including Little Jimmy Urine (Vocals, Programming), Steve, Righ? (Guitar), Kitty (Drums), and Lyn-Z (Bass). When listening to MSI you're getting a mix of everything from punk, to industrial, to hip-hop. The band refers to their music's unique genre as "industrial jungle pussy punk".

JIMMY URINE



(Vocals, Programming) Little Jimmy Urine (born James Euringer, September 7, 1969) grew up with his older brother, Markus J. Euringer in New York, New York. After going to a Catholic high school, James felt like putting his morals to use and creating the band Mindless Self Indulgence. Although Mark was the guitarist for a while, he left to become a horror writer. Urine has also taken on many side projects, such as a collaboration with fellow Mindless Self Indulgence band mate Steve, Righ? in creating a 40 track, 25 minute album called The Left Rights. Jimmy is engaged to Chantal Claret, frontwoman for the band Morningwood.


KITTY

(Drum Kit) Kitty joined the band in 1997 and has been the drummer of Mindless Self Indulgence since their debut, "Tight". She also helped design the official website and has an asian boyfriend, of whom remains anonymous. Kitty's small drum kit has always been a spectacle, and from tour to tour the theme of her drum kit changes.


STEVE RIGH?

Guitar/ Vocals) Born Steve Montano, he joined the band in 1995 when he contributed to their self-titled CD in which he played guiter for "Bed Of Roses". Steve is a long time friend of Jimmy. Steve's name stemmed from when he was approached at a show by someone who said, "You're Steve, right?". He was out of the commission for a brief time in 2004-2005, due to hospitalization due to a hip injury. That, however, doesn't hinder his stage antics or his dedication to giving the fans their moneys worth, two aspects that truly make MSI an extremely unique band. Righ? also teamed up with Little Jimmy Urine to record a side project called "The Left Rights", in which 40 fecally obsessed songs were compiled onto one disc.



LYN-Z



(Bass) Lyn-Z was born on May 22nd, 1979 in Connecticut. She moved to New York to study art. She studied for two years at Pratt Iinstitute in Brooklyn. Prior to joining MSI, she was in a punk Dolly Parton cover band. She then replaced Vanessa as the bassist in the band in 2001. She is currently working with HUNG, a traveling art exhibit based on various punk artists. In 2002 she was hospitalized for a collapsed lung, but that hasn't stopped her from her high energy stage performance. Along with artist Jorden Haley, Lyn-Z contributed to the You'll Rebel To Anything CD artwork. Lyn-Z's stage presence is noticably active, she is constantly moving around and keeping the audience riled up and entertained. Her now infamous backbend is a memorable part of the live perfromance. Lyn-Z often dresses in school girl uniforms, with a touch of her own personal style.
