Sumeet Barai and Jeff Mendoza Guitar Jumping in Unison at a Punk Rock Club Show on UT Campus

The Mofobees were a legendary band that was around between 2002-2003 and played some shows in Austin, TX and Corpus Christi, TX at clubs like Beerland, The Backroom, Flamingo Cantina, and Equal Eyes as well as many parties and UT Punk Rock Club events. The Mofobees were a fast melodic punk rock band that played a melodic hardcore / skate punk style of punk rock. Some of the songs they played were greats from Sumeet and Domenic's old Band Mr. F Loves You. He is not in this picture, but the band later added Michael Nelson on Guitar.

Sumeet Barai Pulling Many Olympic Level High Jumps at a UT campus show

During his days with the MoFoBees, Barai was known for spending as much time jumping in the air as he did with his feet on the stage. While some considered this to be pure lunacy or insanity, Barai had perfected an art form and the air was his medium as he flew through it. His legendary guitar acrobatics were comparable to that of Pete Townshend among other greats.
