Dead Moon just might be my favorite band of all time... Fred Cole, frontman for the band, is an original rock & roller and just might be the last. While hundreds of bands cropped up long enough in the 60's to cut a single or two and then vanish into Nugget's compilation obscurity, Fred Cole soldiered on. Playing in bands since the 60's, he formed Dead Moon in the late 80's with his wife on bass and Andrew Loomis on drums.
Live they were unstoppable... Fred would play without the aid of effects pedals preferring, instead, to get his feedback and distortion through sheer force of guitar and amp. Recording too many records to own all, the band broke up last year after their star really started to burn bright in the night.
The hot news, for me, at least is that they're back! Sans Andrew, Fred and Toody are taking the stage with a new drummer as Pierced Arrows. I've yet to catch them live but, I know for sure, that they're fantastic. The two of them are an inspiration to anyone who loves music without concern for anything other than pure music.
It's alright, it's ok you can still see them play anyway:
