MOOP ON YOUR FACE!
Moop is a four piece band consisting of:
alexandra lenas- keyboards, vocals
mike deluccia-bass
dan malleo-guitars
arian murati-drums
Moop started as a jazz band during the roaring 20s. Because of the great depression
in the 30s, Moop had to sell their equipment for food and shelter. Through WWII, Arian
and Dan were fighter pilots who were captured by the Soviet Union. Once the Soviets
captured Berlin, Arian and Dan were released back into American custody. They soon found
out that Mike had been hiding in a bomb shelter out of paranoia of a German air raid.
They paid him a visit and reintroduced him to his old passion: the bass guitar. For about
20 years, the three of them had been training their musical ability and meditating
under waterfalls under the watchful eye of their samauri leader chi-minh-ho. During
the late 60s the three went to woodstock, where they met a lass named alexandra.
Moop was now complete. The singer/keyboardist had been found. Sadly, soon after,
mike was drafted and sent to Vietnam, where he lost a leg. He now has a prosthetic
mechanical leg which works just fine. As the 70s came and went, the band had
become an unstoppable force, unrivaled by no one but the X men. ( who died
" tragically" in a freak bus accident.) In the 80s, Arian spent some time in jail for
attempting to assisinate Ronald Regean. Mike and Alexandra were also in a bit of a
pickle when mike lost his other leg in a shootout with the Compton police dpt. Dan
was also dealing with crack addiction and severe A.D.D. The 90s prooved to be a
very good time for Moop, as they toured the country with Nirvana and other top
artists of the time. Now in the 21st century, Moop still stands strong as the greatest
thing to hit the industry since the 70s disco revolution.
