Moonshot

About Me

Moonshot, an indie rock trio (and occasional quartet), formed in Boston in 1997. The four original members (Ben Godin on guitar/vocals, Karen Little on bass/vocals, Justin Clark on guitar, and Jim Theodore on drums) played together in bands at Bates College and decided to regroup as Moonshot a couple years after school.Moonshot's current and most consistent line-up includes Ben Godin on guitar/vocals, Sarah Sugartone on bass/vocals, and Jim Theodore on drums. Our releases include 1999's "I Think Our Star is Fading" EP, 2001's "This Won't Last," and 2004's "The Courtside Conspiracy," all of which were released independently on our own Sugartone Records. We also recorded a five-song demo in 2005 (aka 'the Lost Sessions') which was never released. Over the years, Moonshot has played primarily around Boston and New England, with occasional trips to play shows along the East Coast. We celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary with a memorable farewell show at T.T. the Bear's Place in 2007 and we're currently on hiatus, playing the occasional show here and there. Thank you to everyone who's supported us over the last 10 years! We truly appreciate it!
