About this Event

The Moons recorded their debut album Life On Earth (released on Acid Jazz Records, March 2010) in Paul Weller's studio. Paul Weller, a new appreciator of The Moons' work, played piano on the track "Wondering" , lead guitar on "Last Night On Earth" and the opening track, "Don't Go Changing", The Moons toured extensively, playing headline shows and supporting many acts including Ocean Colour Scene and The Rifles. The album made it into the top 30, and shows at the Royal Albert Hall with Ocean Colour Scene and a European tour with Beady Eye followed.

The band were also catapulted even further into the nation's consciousness when they were chosen by Mani of The Stone Roses to pay tribute to The Smiths on Channel 4's JD Set, where they performed cover versions of The Smiths' songs along with Kid British, Little Barrie and Tom Clarke of The Enemy.

With an established fan base, heavily active on social networks and engaged with their fans, the Moons are poised to release their strongest material to date. They returned to Paul Weller's studio in August to write and record their latest album - yet to be titled, the album is a commercial leap forward for the band with a vibrant new take on their established retro sound, receiving early comparisons to Tame Impala, T-Rex, Bolan and Miles Kane.
