MU330 (pronounced "em-you-three-thirty", or "muso" as in musically aware) is a ska punk band formed in 1988 in St. Louis, Missouri. The original members met in St. Louis University High School music class 330 (hence the name of the band).[1]
The band is self-described as "psycho ska" and is known for its lively performances and a general ethic of fun and optimism. MU330's lineup has changed frequently, but the foundations of the band remained intact — Potthast, Diebold and Moll.[1]
Singer Dan Potthast has released solo work and has also started a second band The Stitch Up with former Slow Gherkin frontman James Rickman. Drummer Ted Moll has a side project band called Bagheera.
