Who We Are

Mr. Alphonse Dentenofski ..."Al Dente"

 Originally from New York City and a twelve year resident of Taos New Mexico, Al is an established keyboard player (Los Otros, Man Overboard, Tsunami Squad, The New Jersey Sock Puppet Theater Troupe) and experienced actor (Fame, Hair, and several Off Broadway flops). He studied music and drama at New York’s High School of Performing Arts, and continued to refine his talents at the State University of New York for several years afterward. In addition to several film credits he has also been doing voiceover work on radio for the past 20 years. 

Lester Moore... "Lester Moore"

Hailing from "Hot"lanta GA, Lester brought his guitar and unique singing ability to Taos in the fall of 2000. His previous credits include several indie film scores as well as longstanding local success with his original band "Fancy ". Les has a finely tuned style developed from many musical influences including the Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Radiohead and David Bowie. His vocal talent reflects the best parts of these artists and has proven to be an indispensable asset to Vanilla Pop.
