–Spaceface is an original Psychedelic Rock band from Memphis, TN. Formed in 2012, the band blends unique soundscapes, catchy vocals, raw energy, and a professional light show in order to create a truly memorable experience.
They are currently working on their first album, a self-titled EP which will be available for vinyl and free download in the Fall.
Since their recent formation, they have been involved in two collaborative records assembled by The Flaming Lips to give tribute to King Crimson and The Stone Roses. These records were sold on limited edition colored vinyl and featured artists such as Ke$ha, Policia, Peaking Lights, New Fumes, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, HOTT MT, and Linear Downfall.
–Analog Moon is a band of ideas. The approach is mercurial, while the instrumentation is grounded in the gritty palette of early 70s rock and roll. The band takes nods from The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and many other great artists and bands of this period. The structure and crafting of the original material is rooted in this period of maturing psychedelia but also draws from the pop sensibilities of the 80s and alternative attitude of the 90s. The band doesn’t fail to consider its contemporaries as well. Listed right alongside these classic influences are current bands such as The Flaming Lips, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, and The Arcade Fire. Analog Moon is able to take all of these influences and still deliver something fresh to the listener. Each performance is delivered with an immediacy that belongs in rock and roll. The music is strangely familiar but in the now. The Analog Moon live experience is not something that one will soon forget, and each performance leaves the listener as well as the performer wanting more.
