"RENDEZVOUS AT THE RENDEZ-VOUS" COMPLETE!

About Me

Rick is a huge geek who likes to write silly bios and try to convince people that clapping fueds are a good idea. But, he can also be credited with initiating this band. Beginning as a bunch of friends hanging out in Mason hall (SUNY Fredonia) and messing around on a variety of instruments, Mopery in the No tell Motel has evolved into a somewhat credible indie pop band. Now, still very young and vibrant, Mopery trek on in a quest for your love, clapping, and bodily movement.**that's fugues, other band member. clapping fugues.**-Rick
