Cyrano's bio
History
For over 16 years strong, DJ's Cyrano and Señor Amor have been in pursuit of rumprolling, finger popping, sweat drenching music. For those who are willing to drive their funky souls, this is the late night sound of a scintillating planet. Your selectors know this music is equally adjustable for driving fast, or very, very slowly.

Sensing a snooze in the airwaves of the late 80's, the Molotov Cocktail Hour on KXLU 88.9 FM, was launched on a hapless halfshell. Their aim was simple but true: for one hour a week unleash the soundtrack for all Rascals, Hussies, Bon Vivants, Space Chicks, Secret Agents, Hipsters, Strippers, and Big Tippers. Initially, the playlists were to fortell the Lounge rebirth of the early Ninties. Vegas crooners, Film Noir tunage, and exotic sounds of hungry cannibals rose like smoke signals to old punk rockers looking for new kicks.

"Lounge" soon had it's own bin card and Cyrano and Señor Amor witnessed the rise and fall of the Cocktail Nation. They were not content to become a casualty of a style and sensibility they spent years championing. Once again, the boundaries disappeared, shifted, and reset like tan lines on Sofia Loren. Amid shattered glass and broken hearts, Space Age synthesizers bubbled from a distant past, Scott Walker seized the controls as Serge Gainsbourg pressed the "launch" button. Cops of brown leather and funky monsters from the seventies fit snugly into diner seats next to Jimmy Smith and his B-3 Hammond Cheese on rye. Mustachioed Italian hitmen straightened their ties while foppish English Mods loosened their ascots. The tunes were not going to go quietly into that dark night and neither were the two chaperones of chicanery.

So they dug. Deeper. A great wide eyed, big bottomed world awaited.

They continued playing around town, in clubs, bars, restaurants and super villain hideouts. The distinctive sound of the Molotov Men graced celebrity birthday parties, weddings, Major Museums and choice venues of upscale optometry.

The show continues to shout and pout along any interstate with well dressed, swinging abandon. And now their past becomes your present. Should you choose to accept their mission, they will provide an unequalled level of attention, dedication and commitment to making your scene happening.
