MUFA is still MUFA but they are relocating to New York City. The track on
the compilation (on Gayshoe records!?! whatever that is...) is Endopiag off
their
1994 cassette-only release and they've come a long way since then...
If anyone on the group has a chance to catch this band they should. They're
amazing. The sound is totally unique.
They had a EP in the works with Backbeat records but called it off, maybe
because they were looking for greener pastures.
Once again, miss them at yr own risk. Their stuff is the shit.
Later--
Tim from Buffalo
