About Me

John Mondelli is a one man comic-rock band who will blow your brains out with his insane songs and comic crap!
Ocasionally he plays live shows with his band, which is yet to be named but hopefully won't have the word "Brokeback" in it.
John is still working on his album ''Back to the Futon'' but is positive it will be done by the end of 2005 and is looking at a March 2006 release!
Check out some of the songs right here on Myspace! You'll never know what to expect... except MIND BLOWING COMIC ROCK!
