My gateway, when I was assigned this Columbus OH preview many years ago, still doing homework:
Pierced ArrowsThursday @ The SummitAlong with the other suspects forcibly re-named Lollipop Shoppe, Fred Cole conjured “You Must Be a Witch,” a ‘60s garage classic, and even a hit. Such music biz vindication didn’t impress guitarist Fred or his bassist wife Toody, who orbited indie rock’s Dead Moon for 20 years, before Pierced Arrows. Fred’s voice can pierce any sound system (or lack thereof). Both of the Coles project psychedelic soul over and through their fractured feedback, buzzing surveillance, Kelly Halliburton’s flying saucer cymbals, and the marching sway of melodies, always ready for more.

Saw Toody in a small bar last night (LaurelThirst Public House in Portland). Great show. She played with a trio + backup singer for a few songs.
Feels to reductive to say it felt like seeing Patti Smith in a hole in the wall, but that's what came to mind. Short clip here:

^^ Saw Hurley there a few months ago! New-ish to Portland, so it's exciting to see these legends still playing.

An incredibly intense live document of the band’s legendary 20-date first tour of New Zealand. Recorded before an audience of about 40 people in Invercargill (Keith Richards called it “the arsehole of the world”), this is Dead Moon at their most savage, their best live recording, the way they were meant to be heard!Toody Cole recalled that the band had been invited to open for Nirvana that year, but one of Fred Cole’s ironfast rules was “never cancel a gig you committed to for a better one.” So Dead Moon burned through New Zealand as planned.Recorded live at the Glengarry Tavern, Invercargill New Zealand Saturday September 5th 1992
