Missing Persons

American new wave, synthpop and rock band Missing Persons from Los Angeles, California, was formed in 1980. The band comprised Warren Cuccurullo, Dale Bozzio, Terry Bozzio, Patrick O'Hearn, Chuck Wild, Ron Poster, Wes Wehmiller and Joe Travers. In 1980, they made its first record, a 4-song EP entitled Missing Persons, in Zappa's brand-new Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studios. The recording was financed by Cuccurullo's father. The band also toured, promoted the EP, appeared in the movie Lunch Wagon, and became a must-see band among the Los Angeles live music crowd. "Mental Hopscotch" was a number 1 record on local radio station KROQ, and the self-promoted EP sold 7,000 copies. Two years of hard work led up to a signing with Capitol Records in 1982.
