  • 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.
    "Destination Unknown" is a song by American band Missing Persons. It was written by Dale Bozzio, Terry Bozzio, and Warren Cuccurullo with production by Ken Scott. Originally released on the band's self-titled EP (1980), the song was released as a single in September 1982 and appeared on their debut studio album Spring Session M (1982).
    In the United States, it was a minor hit spending 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, narrowly missing the Top 40 and peaking at #42 in November 1982.
    This song is used in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on Flash FM. The song is also played at the end of Season 2, episode 7, titled "Nothing Shattered," of the NetFlix series GLOW.

    I can't believe they weren't bigger. Terry's super drumming, and Warren's licks, combined with Dale Bozio's original sound and style was smoking hot. The album title "Spring Session M" was an anagram of Missing Persons as well. Cute, clever and original. That album is one of the 80s very best.

The melody of this song is so perfect, there's a bit of a droning background, that throbbing bassline, and the lyrics just wash over me, recalling the good times me and my buds had playing softball that year...smoking weed, barbecuing on weekends...Life is so strange.

    Terry Bozzio totally changed my drumming. His fills alternating from snare to bass to toms, those trashy custom cymbal pairs he created. Groovy hard hitting beats. Man I could not get enough of his playing. It is one of a kind. His stuff in Zappa was much more technical but this new wave band with him driving the beat was something from another planet.

      I got searching for this when I heard a reference to the Walking in LA song in an episode of Family Guy ( because I hadn't changed channels after The Simpsons... ) and I just had to hear the song. This was in the subsequent suggestions and the title sounded familiar so... They and other similar groups were making some good fresh music at a time when I'd had my fill of Smoke on the Water. I had to listen to a 10watt community-college station I whose signal I could barely acquire to hear music like this and what a breath of fresh-air *that* was! Something had actually changed for the *better,* for once. I could hardly believe it.

It wasn't so alien to make me scratch my head. It was well done & the musicians were great. Ms. Bozzio carried it through! I wish you'd carried on, but that's the biz. All players were great. Wish you people were still doing it! As Lennon said, it's just another rock band. If you want to reminisce, you still have the old records. Glad I can still listen! It's fun stuff!! Best, J.P.
