dead moon

I like the first Rats and REALLY REALLY like Intermittent Signals, so In A Desperate Red sounds like it'd be a winner.
I asked Fred about that when Pierced Arrows played at a High School in town a couple years ago and he either didn't hear me (quite possible from what I understand of his hearing troubles) or just didn't feel like talking about it.

this band rules, huh?

now and forever

anyone see that documentary on the band? worth it?

it's SO GOOD.
there's tons of great live footage, and their story is really pretty inspiring imo.

i loaned my copy to a friend like three years ago and have not gotten it back.

rly wanna see the dead moon doc, a hardcore DM fan said he watched it in tears.

buncha these guys LPs are forthcoming on mississippi btw

dead moon doc is available on the internets, friends.

buncha these guys LPs are forthcoming on mississippi btw

that's good news, since most of them are OOP.

I just bought all three of the reissues this afternoon. They sound great, infinitely preferable to the shitty MP3s I had before. Wouldn't have thought remastering would make such a difference, hats off to Mr. Timothy Stollenwerk.

watching the doc is one of those things that makes me wanna stand up on top of my furniture with my fists in the air like I CAN DO ANYTHING

otm

Had no idea those original DM LPs on Tombstone were outta print. They used to be everywhere.

yeah sometime in the last five years they went from being $5 Northwest used-bin staples to $40 collector's items

a few years ago there was a petition seen at like coffee shops and record stores in new orleans that was like BRING PIERCED ARROWS TO NEW ORLEANS, but they had played there pretty recently (in 2009) (and it was awesome). also who was being petitioned? bookers? fred and toody? city hall?

i signed it fwiw, didnt work

wishing you good health, Fred:

aw man

Yeah best wishes Fred, I'm glad I got see these guys as many times (three or four) as I did, great band.

Oh no! I've just gotten into Dead Moon this year, and I saw them live in August--they were so wonderful. Really hope he pulls through.

man i hate to bump this thread with more bad news but http://www.brooklynvegan.com/dead-moons-fred-cole-hospitalized-there-will-be-a-lot-of-recovery-time/

get better Fred!

Oh man, that is terrible. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. They are a tremendous band.

RIP Fred Cole

noooooooo

god damn it

fuck the world

I'm leaving work to go drink and play Dead Moon records at high volume

This is a huge bummer. RIP Fred

Legend of American Rock n' Roll.
51 years in the game. Rest well.

RIP - but so many songs about dying/grave/time has come/too far gone/remember me/... , it's very hard to listen now :-(

Oh no, RIP. I love that band.

RIP. this is so sad. i was fortunate enough to share the stage w Pierced Arrows in 2010 and they were the nicest possible people. insane love and respect for these lifers.

i highly recommend the wonderful Dead Moon documentary. it's been years since i've seen it, i should give it a rewatch...

yes, the documentary is excellent, definitely gonna watch it again soon

one thing that really amazed me was how DIY they were. they had built their own house. he was cutting his own records on a lathe. so badass.

A post by the Mississippi Records guy who's doing the book (I hope kickstarter won't force them to redo the whole process now the signed edition won't be signed anymore) + someone made a Dead Moon Family Tree mixtape on Pandora (in the comments) that's only for people in the USA :-/

Very nice and detailed obit in NY Times.

RIP to the author of one of the most perfect songs ever, "Teenagers" by he and Toody's pre-Dead Moon band The Rats:

Love that song. Veronica Falls did a pretty good cover of that

Ted Leo closed his set last night in Minneapolis with a storming cover of It's OK.
