About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 CHECK OUT OUR OFFICIAL SITE AS WELL... SOME NEW SONGS ON THE DOWNLOAD PAGE!!! WWW.THEMOONFISH.CO.UK!
IN 2004 FOUR TALENTED MUSICIANS, WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY TOURED WITH OTHER ARTISTS, CAME TOGETHER AND SEALED THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH A NEW BAND: THE MOONFISH. WITH A BROAD REPERTIORE THAT INCLUDES POST-ROCK, BRIT-ROCK, PROGRESSIVE AND, OF COURSE, THEIR OWN DISTINCTIVE SOUND, THE MOONFISH SENT THEIR FIRST RECORDINGS TO A SELECTION OF INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION STUDIOS AND RECEIVED A PROMPT REPLY FROM MARCO MIGLIARI, THE SENIOR SOUND ENGINEER OF PETER GABRIEL'S REAL WORLD.
THE FOUR-PIECE MOONFISH OFFER A NEW SOUND, ENRICHED BY MUSICAL TALENT THAT IS BORN FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, BUT IS BROUGHT TOGETHER BY A COMMON VISION: TO IMPRESS UPON THEIR AUDIENCE A PASSIONATE EMBRACE OF LIFE WITH A VOICE THAT REFUSES TO BE LIMITED BY INTERPRETATION.
THE MOONFISH APPROACH US WITH A RAW SOUND SNATCHED FROM SPONTANEITY. BUT THEIR INNOCENCE IS A RUSE. THERE IS NO COMPROMISE IN THEIR COMPOSITION, NO ARBITRATION, ONLY A DENSE CONCOCTION OF POTION INSPIRED BY A STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS THE BAND MEMBERS’ SHARE. THERE ARE SEVERAL THEMES: POLITICS, LOVE, MORTALITY, DREAMS, FREEDOM, VIOLENCE; BUT NO NAGGING URGENCY TO PROSELYTISE.
BETWEEN AUGUST AND NOVEMBER 2006 THE MOONFISH TRAVELLED TO THE REAL WORLD STUDIOS IN THE UK, TO REALISE, WITH MARCO MIGLIARI, THEIR MUSICAL POTENTIAL. THE RESULTS ARE 12 TRACKS, THE FIRST TRANCHE OF AN ALBUM WHICH IS BEGINNING TO TAKE SHAPE. THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS DISTIL THE BAND'S ESSENCE AND STRENGTHEN THE CHARACTER OF SONGS SUCH AS THE TOUCHING SPEND YOUR NIGHTS WELL OR THE INVOLVING 4 MINUTE SUPER HERO, AT A FAST AND CONCISE PACE. WHILE RECORDING THE REST OF THEIR ALBUM, THE MOONFISH ARE PREPARING TO RECEIVE AN AUDIENCE WHO WANT A DIFFERENT, GENUINE, SPONTANEOUS AND NON-SEASONAL MUSIC.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/15/2006
Band Website: themoonfish.co.uk
Band Members:
GADI: Voices and Bass guitars
KAOS: Keyboards and Bvs
MOSS: Drums and Bvs
ARSENIO: Guitars and Bvs

Influences: HEAVIER THAN BECK, NOT AS DARK AS JEFF BUCKLEY AND CITING PINK FLOYD, POLICE, SQUEEZE AND RADIOHEAD (AND MANY MORE) AS THEIR INFLUENCE, THE MOONFISH INVENT AN AUTHENTIC, INDIVIDUAL SOUND; A PROMISING NEWCOMER.
Sounds Like: THE MOONFISH ENCOURAGE US TO THINK WHILE ENTERTAINING US. IF WE TRY TO REDUCE THEIR MESSAGE TO THE ELEMENTARY THEY OFFER US THE ABSURD. NOT AT ALL SHY IN THEIR CONVICTION, THE MOONFISH ARE DEDICATED IN THEIR QUEST AND INVITE US TO JOIN THEM. IT IS EQUALLY USELESS TO PIGEONHOLE THEIR GENRE. YES, “BRIT ROCK” WILL GET YOU SOME WAY, BUT THESE FOUR GUYS DON’T STOP THERE; IT’S JUST ONE ITEM ON THEIR ITINERARY. IRONIC, WITH OCCASIONAL NOIR, MOONFISH REMIND US OF SOME AMERICAN WEST COAST SOUNDS AS WELL AS THE UNDENIABLY HALF-BRITISH ROOTS OF THE BAND. BUT THEY ACHIEVE A HYBRID THAT MIXES WITHOUT EXCESSES.SOMETIMES SPARE AND HARSH, BUT NEVER BARE, MOONFISH BLEND CONTRASTS LIKE THE WARM VOICE AND JARRING GUITAR OF WHAT IT IS IS WHAT YOU DID; SHIFTING MELODIES AND BEATING REFRAINS; THE BITTER IRONY OF 4 MILE SMILE; OR THE MORDANT WHO ARE YOU? AND LIKE INFECTION WHERE LOVE IS REDUCED TO INIQUITY (RECALLING THE BETTER JEFF BUCKLEY).THE MOONFISH SERVE UP A FEAST OF MUSING BALLADS AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK BRIMMING WITH DELICATELY DAYDREAMING COMPOSITION AND CATCHY TONGUE-IN-CHEEK LYRICS. SEASONED WITH VINTAGE KEYBOARDS AND GRITTY GUITARS, THE MOONFISH'S REPERTOIRE HAS A GENUINE ACOUSTIC FLAVOUR. THEY JUST PLAY 'EM THE GOOD-OLD FASHIONED WAY .. AND IT WORKS.“IT'S SIMPLY GOOD LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS AND TRAVELLING WITH THEM. HOPEFULLY THIS JOURNEY IS JUST AT ITS START." SAYS ELENA GUARNERI OF BLUEPRINT PARTNERS.
Record Label: what is a record label?
Type of Label: None
