The Mongol Beach Party is one of the most unique bands to ever come out of Kansas City. Known for their driving grooves and relentless party onslaught, the Mongols are about having fun in an off-kilter kind of way. Hook-heavy guitar riffs, speed-demon bass lines, funky, soulful horns and tight, crispy percussion blend pop, jazz, funk and Latin feels into the indescribable fusion that is the Mongol Beach Party.
The band was compared to everyone from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to the Bare Naked Ladies, from Steely Dan to Phish to XTC. But the truth is, from back in the day to right now, there's no other band that sounds like the Mongol Beach Party.

Kansas City artist (and Mark's spouse) Peregrine Honig designed this beautiful image for us. We asked her if she could update the "flower head man" that appeared on our cassette demo back in 1991--and currently serves as the background image on this page. She didn't just update it, she fully reimagined it as only she can. The t-shirts and camis are white cotton from American Apparel and cost $15.
