Biography

Moldy Ghetto was an experimental indie noise-rock group formed by singer / songwriter Josh McCurdy (later known as Kosmik Leprechaun), with input from Jeff Hassett (later known as hCrink). The band was active from 1993 — 1996; and went through many drummers. Initially, MG published and released limited edition homemade 4-track cassette recordings of extremely noisy material, via McCurdy's label, known as Hot Damn! Tapes, adopting a much mellower sound by the end of the bands' existence. In 1995, MG merged with singer-songwriter Deny Samoree, forming the indie-rock group, known as Rusty-Like (subsequently releasing a number of albums by that project, via Samoree's own label Pink Monkey Tapes). RL would often be the opening band for MG's gigs, with McCurdy usually performing on the drums, before joining MG on vocals and guitar. In 1996, the members of both groups went their separate ways, not performing together again, until a brief reunion in 2003. All surviving MG material was eventually re-published in digital format by Completely Gone Recordings in 2007.
