From
recording a debut album at the studios of Paul Weller to a fan in the shape of
gold medal winning cyclist Bradley Wiggins, it has been a whirlwind few years
for The Moons.
And
that’s not to mention sell out gigs, support slots with the likes of Ocean Colour
Scene and The Rifles as well as NME plaudits too.
Now,
though, The Moons juggernaut is set to roll in to Teesside with a gig at
Stockton’s Georgian Theatre tonight.
The
Northampton indie rock band has already been lauded by The Kinks’ Dave Davies and
The Zombies’ Rod Argent and their incessant touring has seen them build a loyal
fanbase with sell-out shows up and down the country including the 100 Club,
London.
The
Teesside leg of their current tour is highly anticipated and comes alongside
the launch of a new single Heart and Soul.
Evoking
the flamboyance of 70s era glam rock, the single tips its hat to the heroes of
that period from Bolan and Bowie to Mott the Hoople and Sweet.
It is
essentially an ode to a scorned lover as singer Andy Croft says: “Heart and
soul is about a girl, a temptress who pulls you in with her looks and spits you
out.
“A girl
who reaches into your heart and soul and takes all the good out of you and then
moves on to her next victim.”
Crofts
started the band in 2006 after putting together a collection of demos and
uploading a few songs to Myspace.
Within
days the songs gained praise from Mojo magazine.
Tonight’s
gig at the Georgian Theatre sees support come from Teessider Alistair Sheerin
who is fresh from supporting Miles Kane and psychedelic, folk and garage rock
band The Glass Moths.
Tickets
are £8 adv/£10 on the door and the show starts at 8pm.
