I first herd odd moon under the band name Pixels late last year and instantly loved there work i think the pixels work has a very vampire weekend feel perfect for festivals and for putting everyone into that summer feeling. They released there début album "call it devotion" on November 7th 2010 and is available for download on amazon and i tunes. After listening to there tracks on soundcloud i quickly found my self wanting to hear them again and again. And even started getting there songs stuck in my head. I can imagine them appearing at all the top festivals and entertaining thousands of summer festival goers. They have a very radio friendly style on the pixels project.But they have decided to take things a lot more darker on there new project "Odd Moon" and i have found them to be just as good if not better from what i have herd so far. I'm eagerly awaiting new tracks from this fantastic band and hope that there fan base continues to bloom. I asked the band a few questions and got the answers from the lovely SeanQ1) Have you always seen you self making music?
No actually, I started a few years ago because I hoped it might make me appear to be cool. We looked at bands who had the most street cred and settled on synths. I also saw how much money the likes of Bono was making, with the help of his accountants, and thought - this is defo the industry for me.
Q2) what artists inspire you and why?
My main inspiration is a local guy called Abdul, better known as Abdul "Synth Scientist" Kadul. He got me hooked up with my first synth and I haven't looked back since really.
Q3) How have you found soundcloud?
Turned left at myspace. Really though, its the business.
Q4) Where would you like to see your music take you?
So far its taken me to Liverpool, Manchester and London, but I'd really like to see Linconshire at some point. Some people do say my downfall is lack of ambition, but I've heard its a nice place.
Q5) Whats your Favorite song at the moment?
Janelle Monae - Make the Bus. Bloody brilliant.
Q6) What made you want to create and write music?
I think the desire to be heard on as many formats as possible.
Q7) Who would you most like to meet in the music world and why?
I just met him a few weeks back actually - Heems from Das Racist.
Q8) how did you all meet and what does Odd Moon mean?
We all met at a local gig. The other two guys saw me singing in an indie-rock outfit and they came up to me and said listen, we like you, but we don't like your band. And so I joined them from then on. Its been good.
Even tho we may not know whats behind the name "Odd Moon" you can see that the band is normal like each and everyone of us and i have nothing but great things to say about them. The band also allowed me to play "Polythene" on the first vi vi introduces radio podcast which generated a great response for the band. I see a bright future for this electro pop band and wish them all the best
Happy reading and listening
