BIOGRAPHY

Originally from Los Angeles, Moses has made the Northwest his home for more than 20 years. His musical ventures have taken him from seminal punk rock band The Wipers and 80's MTV veterans Big Idea, into the new millennium, charting on the Americana top 40 with the A.M. Disasters. Electron Love Theory has featured Moses' drumming in national television ads, movie soundtracks and major network shows from Fox, VH1 and MTV. In addition Electron's latest album has recently charted in the U.S. Moses has forged a modestly successful career as one of Seattle's best drummers, as hailed by Insight Magazine. Moses delivers tasty beats, exquisite timing, multi-faceted musicianship and a mischievous deadpan wit.

Cadillac Sky

Cadillac Sky should be a lot more tired. It’s early Saturday afternoon at MerleFest and the band–Bryan Simpson, Matt Menefree, Andrew Moritz, Ross Holmes and newest addition David Mayfield–has already logged two performances on the day....

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery. Over 15 years, the Austin, Texas band have survived lineup shuffles and early record label neglect, finding their signature style with 2001’s Girls Can Tell and quietly building one of the strongest rock catalogs of the decade.
