mook (m__k) n. Slang 1. An insignificant or contemptible person. Members: Vocals, Guitar - Paul Dano Keyboards - Dan Kreiger Bass - Rob Bruce Drums - Gus Johnson Sound: Mook’s approach to music relies on seamless dichotomies of musical arrangement. Each song juxtaposes a number of influences in a natural and modest way. This allows for greater accessibility and application of the proper hooks. Mook’s lyrical output is that of the persona of the band itself, musically serious yet artistically playful. The band offers no consensus on an artist or series of artists with which they’d compare their sound. However, they do find themselves in agreement on the following: Michael Jackson, The Wu-Tang Clan, Earth Wind & Fire, and the word “lips.” Show History: With a number of gigs under their belt, Mook has planted its seed on a variety of stages. From the olfactory turbulence of Northern Jersey (Hamilton St. Cafe), the wintry nature of Boston: (Harpers Ferry) and Northern Massachusetts (Williams College) – not to mention the New York city haunts (Sin-e, The Baggot Inn, Arlene’s Grocery) the band calls home, Mook has proven itself a hardy and fertile road warrior up and down the east coast.
