Bio / info
Mario Staiano Jr. (best known as Moe! Staiano) is an experimental composer, drummer, percussionist, songwriter and multi-instrumental performance artist who has been at the forefront of the Bay Area improvisation scene for over a decade, both as a solo artist and with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Nurse with Wound, and more. He also fronts Surplus 1980, a post-punk band that continues the journey of no-wave musical exploration begun in his previous project, Mute Socialite. Surplus 1980's revolving slate of first-class Bay Area musicians complement Moe!'s bracing guitar and wry wordplay.
