The Mo'fessionals
were named by
MUSICIAN Magazine in their October 1997
issue:
One of the
Twelve BEST Unsigned Bands
in the World !
They were chosen (from a thousand bands submitting tapes sent in to the magazine) by a panel of music recording artists and professionals.
This still leaves us wondering why the Mo's never were signed to a Label? Somebody sure missed out by not picking them up !
When
the Record Release Parties happened -
We took lots of pictures at the Slim's
party,

Some Mo'fo CD Background:
April 19 '97: in the 5th week of Gavin tracking "Finally Over" was in Rotation at over 100 college and alternate radio stations all over the USA.
The Mo'fessionals spent a day at Rocket Lab in San Francisco the first week of October '96 deciding arrangement of the Ten Cuts which will be on the new CD. Thanks to Rocket Labs, the CD will be a full one hour album. It will be called "Finally Over" (the final song cut). The Mo's especially want to extend thanks to Rocket Labs (Ken, Don and Nicole) for their work and support on this project. And another big Thanks to Tom Carr of the Music Annex, Menlo Park where the final two songs were recorded. These companies were both part of the "Prize" the Mo's won in the DiskMakers "Battle of the Bands" and they were a pleasure to work with. One of the great things about this industry is meeting the people who make the music sound its best!
Sample CD's and Press Kits went out to Labels and Radio Stations all over the USA - Time for the Mo's to get SIGNED and share their special sounds across the USA! But after much interest no recording company picked them up - so they are not currently performing.
Zoe Ellis with Caitlin Cornwell had a best selling recording on the charts in '97 "Bohemian Rhapsody" under their recording name The Braids. Their video debuted on MTV. Mike Marshall has been in Germany recording and performing there.
Loring and Erik are were in Japan in mid-1997 where they visited their friend Kota Kagami (who used to come to a lot of Mo'fo gigs and did some rap with them). Kota has a best-selling rap CD out in Japan - and if you listen carefully you'll hear the word "Mo'fessionals" in his rap. Chris - CB - has memorized the rap in Japanese, if you speak Japanese and come to a Mo'fo gig - please tell Chris what he's saying !
John "Wishbone" Wilson has a studio set up where he is working on recording in Emeryville. The Mo's sounds may rise again!
