Mod Fun - back from the 80's!!

About Me

NY/NJ Mod/Psych-Pop legends MOD FUN have been reunited for over three years now. After a 17 year hiatus, the lads made a highly successful return to the stage at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ late in 2004. Over the next 36 months, the band performed shows in Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, New York, Baltimore and, of course, all over New Jersey - appearing at such popular venues as The Brighton Bar, The Loop Lounge, The Clash Bar, Asbury Lanes and more.

Furthermore, the lads recently released a new 20 song CD entitled "Now...and Again" which features 10 brand new songs and 10 faves from their 80's catalogue re-recorded for the digital age. The new disc is available now and can be purchased from CD Baby or downloaded from iTunes.
