Mofungo was a New York City-based band that was active from 1979 to 1993.[1] It featured guitarist Elliott Sharp and food writer Robert Sietsema. Members Chris Nelson and Jeff McGovern were also founding members of The Scene Is Now.[2][3]
Robert Christgau described their last album as "basically unlistenable unless you grant it your full attention".[4] The New York Times described them as "not your typical rock and roll band".[5]
Sietsema listed Contortions and DNA as influences. During their career, they played with artists including the Fall, Minutemen, Nico, Pavement, Sonic Youth, and Yo La Tengo.[1] Sietsema believes that the band's track End of the World was an influence on the refrain of R.E.M.'s It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine).[6]
