One Moment are a 3 piece band that have a sound that can be best described as gritty dark Electro pop. The band originally formed in Grantham during the early 80's when they played on the live circuit mainly around the East Midlands area. Their sound was similiar in style to the electro sounds that were so popular at the time. The band recorded several demos of their songs at local recording studios. However by the summer of 1982 it was all over way too soon as singer John Burgess and Keyboardist Dik Ellis left to form the synth-pop duo The Sleak Pad.
That was it or so it seemed for One Moment until in 2005 and totally out of the blue the band reformed to play a part in The Screaming Egos produced film 'Dead Famous'. Though original vocalist John declined the invitation to reform original keyboardist Richard Shores was back on board with Dik taking over on vocals, completing the trio was Augo on Synth (previously with Dik in The Deep Sect). One Moment were now back on stage for the first time in well over 20 years.
After this the next time One Moment would be heard of was in 2007 when one of there tracks 'Cold Stare' appeared on the Electraparade compilation cd and after a number of favorable reviews the band considered reforming on a more permanant basis.
So in 2008 One Moment are back with a new 3 piece line up, with new member Rice Arnold joining with Dik & Augo to form the latest reincarnation of the band. One Moment also have a new self produced album 'Lowlights' which brings a far more accomplished sound to their brand of Electro Music. The trio will be back out playing live throughout 2008 and will be bringing their music to a whole new audience.
