About Me


The MoonMovement was a psychedelic, jazzy, eclectic-retro rock band based in Ottawa, Ontario. As one fan put it, if Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, Simon and Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac had a foursome this band would be the love child, Quirky, dark song-writing, soaring two-part vocal harmonies, rock-out guitar and drum solos with funky bass-lines will entertain for hours. The recordings feature Sean Harris Vox/lead guitar, Amy Brandon on bass, Matthew Aston on drums, Christina Gordon Vox/Guitar, Bob Petch Vox/Congas.
The line-up line up was Christina Gordon (Vocals/ Guitar), Bob Petch (Percussion/Vocals), Derek Burton (Bass), Danae Tsikouras (drums/vocals) and Lo Lapierre (lead guitar.)
