Scotty Van Panther
Rhythm Guitar / Backing Vocals
SVP can be called the glue that holds everything together -- holding down the rhythms and vocals with the boys is where he works best! Don't blink or you may miss Scotty as he is always in the crowd trying to get everybody into the rock 'n roll atmosphere of the show.

Diablo Dare-Deville
Bass Guitar / Backing Vocals
Diablo is the essence of 80's Hair Metal -- with his killer bass licks and his harmony vocals to boot, Diablo is the best possible asset to the boys of Mock Star! When the head is banging, the hair is flying so watch your eyes ladies as this wild man puts on one hell of a show!

JOHNNY 5-1/2 (aka ANDY RHOADES to some)

We are VERY please to announce our new lead guitar player in Mr. Johnny 5-1/2 (aka Mr. Andrew Masden)! John has a long history in the Chicago music scene, most notably playing lead guitar in the hugely successful Whitesnake Tribute band called NIGHT SNAKE. When you hear this man play and sing, you will know why he got the spot with Mock Star! Come on down and check out this talented man as he's sure to wow any crowd he is in front of!!

Scott Cuttlass
Drums / Backing Vocals
What can you say about Mr. Scott Cuttlass??? Another phenomenal talent in the Chicago Music scene and Mock Star is also honored to have the chances to share the stage with Scott when needed. Scott's history with Mock Star goes back some 12 years ago from the original version of Mock Star that blew up the Illinois scene and he still takes time to play with bands like Diver Down and Night Snake - so be sure to check out this talented musician at the next Mock Star show.
Mock Star would also like to thank the people behind the scenes that make our shows possible: Brian Mitchell (Sound Engineer); JJ Blatter (Road Crew Manager); Steve Stutsman (Musician, Drum Tech, Technical Advisor); Jon McDowell (Musician, Sound Coordinator)
