    About
     
    Blend one part ska with one part punk, add a Latina twist and a splash of eye candy, and you have got yourself the tasty alternative cocktail otherwise known as La Muņeca Y Los Muertos. Guitarist/vocalist Muņeca Osorio leads the groove, along with other Bay Area musicians David Simon-Baker on lead guitar and backing vocals, Kristin Lo Bianco on bass, Nick Lee on Trombone, and Matt Cohen on drums. With original music written and composed by Osorio and other band members, the band puts on an energetic show, exploring themes such as awareness, positive perspective, and realizing full human potential. The music even provides a sliver of education, songs are written in both English and Spanish. Influences include: Oingo Boingo, Bersuit, Mana, and the Pixies.

    Osorio began as a poet, but a love of guitar lead her to begin fusing the two. She began performing in the Los Angeles area and later in the San Francisco Bay area with the full band. La Muņeca Y Los Muertos is currently working on a full-length debut able that is slated for release in the summer of 2007, followed by a promotional west coast tour.
