Never have enough of THE MOON

2010-10-17T04:54:00.000-07:00

Always gave their Brilliant show.
So enjoyable!!!

Check out there tunes and see they live tonight at Powers Bar
http://moonrock.150m.com/

Joe Moon sounds a lot like Iggy Pop. He even sings with a Midwestern accent. But his band are not your average garage troupe dishing out "1969" soundalikes.

Perhaps The Moon's music is a speculation on what may have come of the Stooges after the phenomenal 1974 post-glam hangover album they never got to record - picking up the pieces after the big party and entering gloomier times.

Calling on Punk - Grunge - Sleepyhead boys & gilrs.

2010-10-17T03:42:00.000-07:00

Party Heavily tonight! @Powers Bar, Kilburn High Road NW6.

Sunday will never be the same again.

A pound gig before 9pm.

The Moon is back!!! After an amazing show at Tommy Flynn's, see people dance, laugh and smile all at the same time. It was to mad to let them go without one more gig with us. People them, we love them. Who missed our gig last time, don't miss out this time. Trust us, you will have a crazy but very happy night ;) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Belle Phoenix has been likened to PJ Harvey, Blondie, Patti Smith, The Cure, Joy Division & Nick Cave to name a few; however, it is clear a that this Australian native has a sound all of her own, creating a unique blend of punk, goth & rock rife with vivid imagery that will bring a smile to your disillusioned face and a tear to your dry desert eye. The new album entitled 'Nine Lives' tells twisted tales of living like a cactus, New York City, Coffee & Cigarettes for breakfast with Spaghetti Western themes. Trent Marden from 'The Holy Soul' would often stand in as guest guitarist for the Sydney live shows and it was inevitable that Trent's unique style of playing would end up on future recordings, namely, Old Crow Misery & SoulKillers. With friends overseas and a life long visa Belle Phoenix mounted her D.I.Y. horse and headed for the welcoming arms of Europe playing experimental shows with German/Uk band members in both London & Germany. Imagine, vampires wearing cowboy hats, incredibly sexy half-clad women dancing with six shooters, and life being lived at warp speed in 'The Strange'. Once you combine all of these ingredients, only then do you get an decent idea of what Belle Phoenix brings to the table. Their music is sexy, vampiric, bold, sultry, rockin'; the list could continue. Belle Phoenix has a sound all their own and her voice is nothing short of amazing.

Flower Power: Here Comes Everybody

2010-08-01T15:23:00.000-07:00

We are going to prove that music can change the world we live in. Thanks for Oxjam, the UK biggest music festival, for giving us the opportunity to make it happens.

Our events will be running from mid September to the end of October 2010. These music events aim to raise money to help those kids who are less fortunate than us; helping them to have better educational resources. The first £450 we make will contribute to Oxjam campaign to build libraries for African children. If we can make £450 more, we will donate it to the Blind School in Thailand, to help make Braille books. If we can raise more than that, hopefully :) we will give it to Oxfam General Funds to help fight poverty and suffering where needed in the future. We need your support to make it happen.

There will be live music from cool artists/bands, fantastic music and a DJ set- let us entertain you! There will also be other fun things and games at the events. All of us are volunteer for this project. Please come and join us-have your photo sketched, while enjoying good music and meeting like minded people. All just for a few quid, though we wouldn't mind if you would like give us more : D

You might fancy playing music with us (please let us know if you do). Or you might be interested to sponsor our artists, as we are going around London town for an old school busking tour as well.

Our Flower Power logo is created by Kaha Abd, a young and talented graphic designer who is taking on freelance work such as design CD covers, posters, booklets and websites.
You can get in touch with her by leaving your comments or details on this blog.

We have a professional photographer Chris Lawrence who is volunteer his time and skill for our project. He will be there taking photos at our gigs. If you ever need a photographer please visit his Flickr or leave your detail with us and we will sort you out! flickr.com/photos/dotclp

If you are interested in helping us at the venue please get in touch. We are looking for people to help us run the night, taking photos and video or simply share our profile with your friend and come along to our gig.
That would be a massive help already!!

More info about dates and venues will be posted here, so please make sure you keep up to date :)

Thanxx

Love, peace and happiness for all
