Mental Floss

About Me

Mental Floss is a band from the Dayton area that.....as you guessed, plays music. We have a rather long history with each other, but it's nothing you'd be too interested about. You're here for the music, right?

Bomp Bomp ©, Post-Bomp © and WonTu OneTwo © are unfinished demos currently being worked on (2006). Live Medley Clip is from a 45 minute video game/movie soundtrack/80's music medley. (See below for the setlist and full medley)

If you enjoy what we're doing, please put us in your top friends list!

Keep an eye on this page for new music, videos, pictures, and upcoming shows in the near future.
