Biography Le Mood
Le MOOD
formed in 2006 when Marco Argiro, Corinne Callen and Kenton Langstroth, three Florida natives, moved to New York City with dreams of rock n’ roll, bright lights, and big city success. Upon his arrival in NYC in 2005, lead singer Marco Argiro, began playing solo acoustic shows at iconic NYC music venues including CBGB, the Bitter End, the Delancey, and the Underground Lounge, and even travelled west to Los Angeles to showcase his talents. Soon after, Marco decided it was time to put together a band, and called on his cousin and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Corinne Callen, and high school friend and guitarist, Kenton Langstroth, to form the core of Le MOOD. The band’s current line-up also includes bassist Brian Karp and drummer Robert Draghi.
Over the years, Le MOOD has made a name for itself in New York’s indie rock and power pop music scene, consistently playing energy-packed shows and releasing outstanding EPs. Le MOOD has toured throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, picking up fans along the way with their catchy, upbeat, irresistible tunes and effortlessly cool image. The band has released three EPs, the first of which was recorded at iconic Electric Lady Land studios, and one 7-inch record (on green vinyl!).
Le MOOD’s last studio EP, “Synaesthesia” (released on Outright Rock Records in 2008) won over the hearts of college radio stations nationwide, debuting at number 72 on the CMJ charts. Tracks from the EP were played on Jet Blue aircraft radio, MTV’s The Real World and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, and IFC's Dinner with the Band. Television station CMT featured Le MOOD’s song “Music” as the main soundtrack to promotions for the CMT 2009 Summer of Music.
Le MOOD’s many memorable performances include a showcase at Manchester’s (UK) In The City Fest in 2008, and shows during NYC’s CMJ Festival in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Le MOOD has been honored to share the stage with many talented artists such as Fitz & The Tantrums, Stellastarr, Simian Mobile Disco, Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Locksley, Mew, Pat Fish (the Jazz Butcher), This Is Ivy League, and Tom Morello (the Nightwatchman). Marco has also performed as lead vocals for the legendary Marky Ramone during Marky Ramone's Blitzkreig tour.
