Sun on my Back, Mona Bang Bang, demo
Everything and Nothing, Mona Bang Bang, demo
The Queen, Mona Bang Bang, demo
Just the Beginning, Mona Bang Bang, demo
If there was a band I had played with that could have made it, it would have been this one. ‘Sun on my Back’ played frequently on the radio, we had fun shows, and the songs were good. I make no apologies for the sugary pop we wrote. These songs here are the demo we recorded in 1990 and my first experience in the studio.
I recently found out that Daniel Dinardo who played bass and co-wrote these tracks has died. This saddens me deeply. It also makes these tracks mean just that much more to me.

Hey Ivan! I was on Facebook and found the Stein Club page and remembered that your sister worked there. Following this tangent, I googled Mona Bang Bang to see if there were any archives from the L5Pts Pub, Point, Fritolero’s, Cotton Club, Masquerade or other bars we played at…imagine my surprise to find your site! Been a long time since I did the stroll…
When exactly were these demos recorded? I used to work across the mall (Outlet Square) from a girl in Mona Bang Bang, and she gave me a cassette of your stuff ’round about 1987 or so. Coincedentally, when my wife was out clubbing back in the day, she was always mistaken for her…
Thanks for the mp3s!
As I recall this was recorded in early/mid 1990. MBB had already been playing out as a band when I came along, but to be honest, I don’t know for how long. I am not sure if they made any other demos before I joined. If these were the songs you heard though the year was 1990. Thanks for your comment.
