Music
The best kept secret in music

The five members of blu Magoo come across as regular guys on their self titled CD, from their photo on the inner sleeve to the gratuitous cleavage shot on the front cover.
But they get the job done, with eight, solid hard rock tunes. Lead vocalist/guitarist Don Stolte and lead guitarist/vocalist Tony Perisich make a potent team, especially when Perisich's guitar mimics Stolte's singing on the grunge rocker, "Vein".
"Down Low" makes for a solid opening track, and blu Magoo offer intriguing variations with the lighter "Once Again" and the progressive "Speak To Me".

Discography
We currently have about 12 to 15 original songs that we think are 'keepers'. I'm working right now to get them arranged on a CD that I hope to make available soon. We have a website that I created which has streaming audio of ten of our songs.
We also had radio airplay here in Chicago on 94.7 the Zone, on their local band time slot.
They played a song of ours called, 'Just the same'.
We are very greatful to James VanOsdel (the DJ)
for giving us some airtime.
We also got a great review in the Illinois entertainer.

Bio
We have a very wide range of influences mostly in the rock/hard rock/commercial pop genres.
Everything from the Beatles to Van halen to some of todays bands like Nickelback, Fuel, puddle of mud etc..
I personally am a huge fan of bands like Survivor, Journey, Styx, Boston, and just too many to count,
but I think that should give you a good idea.
We really like to try and write great songs. For me personally (Tony) when I write I try to take into account all the stuff that's in my head collectively from all the music I've heard and like throughout the years, and blend those elements with what's going on in todays music scene. It's a challenge but I think it's worth it to put in the effort to get what I think is a great song.
