The Mooney Suzuki is an alternative rock band which formed in New York City, New York, United States in 1996. The band has had several lineup changes, with its most recent lineup being Sammy James Jr. (vocals, guitar), Chris Isom (guitar), Reno Bo (bass) and Will Rockwell-Scott (drums). The band named after Can members Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki.
The band has released four albums: “People Get Ready” (2000), “Electric Sweat” (2002), “Alive & Amplified” (2004) and “Have Mercy” (2007). The band initially split in 2000 after the release of “People Get Ready”, but reunited in 2001. The band went on hiatus in 2008 after recording two songs for the soundtrack of the film “Tropic Thunder”. James has since performed with the bands The Pierces and Native Korean Rock, Rockwell Scott is currently the drummer for the Australian rock band Wolfmother, Isom currently performs with his band Loud Owls and Reno Bo performs with Albert Hammond, Jr.’s solo band.

So who gives a shit, iamholgerczukay, if they don't sound like Can. They make loud-ass rock & roll and they do it well. If you want Can, go listen to Can. That's what I do.

I don't think it's dumb that their name comes from the two vocalists from Can. The fucking album cover for Have Mercy is a play on the cover to Soft Machine's Third. Have a look: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51J%2BYvxmNdL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

True. I probably would not have any bad feelings towards them, but pointing my associations towards Can they can only lose.

So, this band is named after the two singers for the band "Can" and they have psychedelic album artwork... and they play garage rock revival stuff. False advertisement, I think it's a dumb move on their part.
