Out of the Chute and Kicking Up Dust! New Website Launch! MONDOGUITARO.COM

image

In the interest of going after some shows, Mondo Guitaro paid some sketchy dude in his basement to cobble together a website. He was totally overpriced to begin with, went way over budget, ignored all of our input, and proceeded to miss every development milestone along the way. In the end he delivered, but we had to wrestle the thumb drive loaded with the website code, out of his greasy, Flamin' Hot Cheetos-stained hands.

Mondo Guitaro is basically 1/2 of El Mirage (still going strong btw!) with Murph switching from drums to guitar and playing with Fady as an instrumental guitar duo. A traditional four-piece surf combo is LOUD by definition, and Mondo Guitaro is aiming for lower-key, lower volume, indoor gigs at taprooms, restaurants, wineries, etc. More deets on the website for anyone curious!
