"Musically, their sound veers toward post-apocolyptic Carl Stalling - lots of cartoony sound effects mixed with a healthy appreciation for sampling and sequence technology. Given the ease with which mellow dance grooves have been taking over the world of advertising over the past decade, it's rather amazing how pleasant and accessible the Zoopy sound is for modern audiences, especialy those who've been wondering what the next evolutionary step for Northern California hyphy would prove to be."

ZOOPY (n) a Live Roctronicka band and trio from Outer Space consisting of Three Monsters.
1 - SLEENARD (Bass and vocals) 2 - DANCING PIGGY BOY (Beats and vocals) 3 - THE FARTFYRE DRAGON (Guitar)
And Punkglam gogo dancers dubbed "THE ZOOPY GIRLS"
In the heart of the ghetto these brain addled geniuses conceived of a new method to reign supreme as the baddest rock and roll motherfuckers on the planet. Flanked by the luscious ZOOPY GIRLS they travel the world expanding on their cosmically-conceived musical theorems.
How did these three Invulnerable and handsome aliens get to Earth anyway? In their massively awesome and totally stupid radical spaceship of grooviness, the Vortex!
Everyone who comes near this ship is suddenly caught up in a desire to steal it and the zoopygirlz and fly to the moon. The Monsters counter this by playing gigs all across the world to pacify the insane biting humans who want to fall in love with the monsters way of life and furry penises.
Born Millions of years ago on the other side of the Universe, the three monsters, Sleenard, Dancing Piggy Boy, and The Fartfyre Dragon were created as part of a huge army to defend their master's world, named Planet Zoopy. After the final battle had wiped out the the Zoopy planet and indeed the Zoopy sun and moon, The three surviving monsters in the Zoopy Army were left floating in deep space aboard a Spacecraft of amazing powers. Not knowing what to do, they followed a strange signal they had found to a new planet. The strange signal, was music... and the new planet, was earth.
After crash landing on earth and discovering the love of human women.. and the love of beer and music..... The three monsters vowed never to destroy another planet and instead to turn their weapons into instruments and tour the world entertaining the insane little race of hairless monkeys they had discovered. with a new kind of Spacetronica Funk a music they had designed to thrill the world. They named their new Outfit Zoopy to honor their lost world and with their trusty human bodyguard women called The Zoopy Girls, set off to dominate the pop charts.
Incorporating Sleenards unique songwriting skills into a miasma of hip-hop inspired rocktronicka webs spun by the masterful Dancing Piggy Boy is only one of the challenges that face these archetypal and fuzzy anti-heroes. They also cause humans to face the sexual fact that The Fartfyre Dragon's hardcore grind-o-crunchification on the guitar will never relent. These two factors came together in the first upcoming album release by these fearsome Rock Monsters. Entitled "They Came To Earth" Available now on
across the dirty little globe from North America to Japan.
Top most popular-type songs from this 12 song album are "You wont be alone" a reassuring message from the monsters to the world at large.
"Old School Rock and Roll" A monster's confessional of life in Zoopy and on the Road. and the first two songs of the Mistletoe trilogy
"Mistletoe the Dragon" and "Velia's End Mistletoe Part II" Telling the story of a wretched little orphan girl in the Mongolian steppes who challenges a tribe of samurais.
Other songs include the Marijuana anthem "I've got the Jane", A psychedelic tribute to small choke-able toys "Weebles Wobble", Spacetronicka Instrumental "The 7th Veil", theme song for the Monster's Consorts "Zoopy Girl", plus "Zoopy Warriors", "Strong" and more!
Quoth Sleenard "We wants to make video that is awesome and funny and sci fi. lots of slow motion kung fu zoopy girl strobe light action while falling out of spaceship that is crashing into meteor creating ocean of boiling water in deep space. Or somethings kind of like that, like real lifes you know?"
