The mysterious Moon....a bit of a Los Angeles pop supergroup.....for all those Beach Boys fans who wonder what became of the 'lost' BB David Marks between stints in the group, here is a part of the story....The Moon were David Marks, garage punk legend Matthew Moore, David Jackson, late of Hearts & Flowers, and Larry Brown, who had drummed with Davie Allen, King of Fuzz, and played on every exploitation soundtrack out of the Mike Curb closet .Signing to Hollywood's Imperial Records label, they were given Carte Blanche to do what the hell they wanted in the studio, and two excellent albums "Without Earth" and "The Moon" resulted....prime Psych fuelled soft pop with a weird edge.....Imperial's slow collapse into the United Artists empire doomed them as it did many artists to a lack of promotion....indeed, their one and only photoshoot was found in a skip by David Marks' mother (who worked at UA) along with promos of everyone from Eddie Cochran to Jackie De Shannon to Kim Fowley.....when they cleared an office, they cleared an office!! All of which has made their albums and singles top-dollar collectables...Here for the first time ever anywhere we re-present The Moon....in all their glory! Visit their website
