Missing Persons (band)
Missing Persons is an American rock band. The band was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles by guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, vocalist Dale Bozzio, and drummer Terry Bozzio. They later added bassist Patrick O'Hearn and keyboardist Chuck Wild. Dale's quirky voice and heavy makeup made the band a favorite on MTV in the early 1980s.
Dale and Terry Bozzio met while working with Frank Zappa, and they married in 1979. Cuccurullo encountered the pair while contributing to the Zappa album Joe's Garage (1979). O'Hearn was also a former member of Zappa's touring band, and Wild had played with a variety of bands before joining.

(3,490 posts)1. Bozzio is a crushing drummer.
Plays everything from pop to Death Metal. First noticed him on the words video. He managed to stand out in it even with Dale soaking up most of the attention for obvious reasons. He sells it pretty hard on that tune. 🤘🏽

He uses all of it though...
