\"Moon1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A fun night with Moonlandingz<\/a> – the UK’s best imaginary band who played an entertaining, if rather short set<\/p>\n

\"Moon2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First up were Hank Haint and the Cruickshanks, last seen supporting the wonderful Meatbodies<\/a>. There were a few technical hitches tonight but thankfully, Moonlandingz drummer stepped in and saved the day by re-routing them through the main bands amp. Rock solid riffs all the way – Great stuff!<\/p>\n

Now if you were putting together an imaginary band….who would you have in it………..? Frank Zappa, E from the Eels……<\/p>\n

\"frank-zappa-7\"<\/a>\"eels\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…2 drummers, one from the Stranglers and one from Status Quo (but let one of them play keyboards)…..<\/p>\n

\"stranglers\"<\/a>\"Status\"<\/a><\/p>\n

….Nick Drake…no, Nick Drakes sister Gabrielle and the guy from the 118 adverts….<\/p>\n

What a beautiful noise they’d make……<\/p>\n

\"Moon3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonights imaginary band were first mentioned in a ‘Eccentronic Research Council’ song who feature the coolest woman in showbiz – Maxine Peake. Read about them here.<\/a> I first heard them earlier this week on Marc Rileys 6Music show<\/a> (where else) and thought ‘I’ve got to see these!’ 60’s acid tinged synth + guitar with driving drums and bass – reminded me of another moon – Moon Duo.<\/a> I just wish they had played a longer set as what they did play, was awesome. Lias Saoudi is a fantastic front man – Fat White Family are now firmly on the ‘must see’ list….<\/p>\n

It was all over by 10.15 so Sledge and I were in Wharfe Chambers by 10.30 for a quiet end to a lovely evening. If you’re going to see them, my advice would be………don’t be late!<\/p>\n
