Half Moon Run
Any of you listening to Half Moon Run these days?
A couple different friends raved about this Canadian indie band after seeing them perform at Rifflandia (a music festival in Victoria, B.C.) in 2014, and they’ve been on my radar ever since. They’ve got folk elements like three-part harmonies, but are edgier, using a lot of percussion. In a few songs, I hear a touch of a Radiohead vibe.
Half Moon Run is currently touring the US, and as part of my Christmas present,
Joe got us tickets to see them play tonight at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland! It’s one of those intimate basement venues — the kind your favourite band plays at before it gets huge and only does stadiums. Very, very stoked about this show.
Check them out in this 2013 performance of “Call Me in the Afternoon” in Brussels and you’ll see what I mean about the percussion. If the energy of tonight’s show is anything like this, I’ll be loving it.
Happy Friday, everyone. Hope you have a good one. :)
We love Half Moon Run! Have fun tonight!!! xox
Oh awesome. I’ve never heard of them (but that’s because I live in dark hole). I do love the Doug Fir though! Have a great time!!
These guys are great. Thanks for the intro! Grey loves watching the video, because their energy is so fun. Concert update?
