Moonlighters, The
DREAMLAND
Photo
2000 -- From the depths of NYC's mean streets come the Moonlighters, with a nod to the Hawaiian old-time guitar greats and 1930s pop; with lap slide guitarist Henry Bogdan -- formerly of "Helmet" -- and ukulele player and singer Bliss Blood -- formerly with the Pain Teens, upright bassist Andrew Hall and baritone uke player and vocalist Daria Klotz. "This kind of playful elegance sets the Moonlighters apart from bands that merely re-hash old tunes without injecting them with new life, and has established them as one of the most popular bands in New York City" -- or anywhere else!
