dead moon

  • andrew loomisDead Moon drummer Andrew Loomis has passed away after illness, according to the band’s Facebook fan page. Loomis had to stand down from the band on the sporadic shows it has played of late. This statement was posted a couple of hours ago:

    “He took a sudden and sharp, unexpected turn for worse a couple of weeks ago and has been in the hospital since February 25. Tests determined he had a series of mini strokes at home, then developed respiratory problems over this past weekend. This morning he was put on a morphine drip (and) passed peacefully.”

    Loomis was originally diagnosed with cancer but was free of the disease when he passed away.

    Portland outfit Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have been recording and playing for the last 10 years and show no signs of slowing down. A supergroup combining members of Don’t, Wipers and Pierced Arrows, the Spurs combine the fast energy of garage and punk, with the attitude of outlaw country. If Patsy Cline started a band with some ratbags hanging around CBGB, it would sound like this.

    We spoke with singer/guitarist Jenny Connors and her husband, and also Spurs bass player Kelly Halliburton from their Portland home just before they land in Australia for their second Spurs tour. 

  • 20 years dead moon liveA screenshot from “20 Years in The Crypt: Embedded With Dead Moon”.

    Dead Moon is a revered name in Australia. They also had a firm following in Europe and across the underbelly of the USA. Now, a new documentary on Dead Moon will have exclusive screenings in Australia in March and April.

    “20 Years in The Crypt: Embedded With Dead Moon” delivers two-hours of live footage and candid off-stage vision, shot in 2001 and edited down from 180 hours of footage. 

    It’s the work of US filmmakers Jason Axel Summers and Kate Fix, who also brought you the “Unknown Passage” documentary about Dead Moon and, more recently, “I Should Have Been Dead Years Ago”“I Should Have Been Dead Years Ago”, the doco aboutAustralian underground rock'n'roller Stuart Gray (aka Stu Spasm, of Lubricated Goat).
