The lovely Nomad Radio have put a recording of our live set at Little Rock Records' No Rave night in Glasgow, in April 2009.

"Improvised Noise / Sound Art mentalists Blood Moon take to the stage at NoRave. I think this is the first live set by a proper band on Nomad. A “proper band” as in “with guitars and drums”, not just wigging out behind a laptop, frantically tapping the mouse button. Jolly good. It sounds like Frank Zappa with drug induced psychosis. Who wouldn’t want to hear that? Fucking Brilliant!

Out now on Frequent Sea Records, sister label to Scotch Tapes, is our new split with the amazing Tayside Mental Health.

While we were up in Scotland we popped round to their studio/living room, had lots of cups of tea and biscuits and made loads of terrifying nosebleed noise. The result of the session is on this 48 minute long album. It features Claire from TMH on vocals and synth; Mikee TMH on guitar and nutty pedals; Lou from BM on bass, synth and reverb spring and Graham BM on synth, contact miked cymbal and tape player.

Be sure to buy it NOW from Freequent Sea, the most exciting lable around!

Bosnian noise group Ogromno Utegnute have just released a massive 31 track free to download noise compilation, featuring a new tune from Blood Moon called Abject One. The track is a nasty tape recording of some rhythmical, punky, jerky guitar and drum music, with bad edits and a noisy ending.

Blood Moon News

First we'd like to thank Honest Music for Dishonest Times, the fanzine of the Slightly Off Kilter Label, for their great review and interview in the current issue:
"If I was pushed to make a comparison I'd have to say that Blood Moon sound something like early King Crimson if they had been born twenty years later and spent most of their time undergoing experiments with electro-convulsive shock therapy while simultaneously rehearsing inside a metal box in a steel mill."

Also, a couple of gigs and a radio session:

Thursday 2nd April - NORAVE at Stereo, GLasgow.
Little Rock Records' party with breakcore, acid, thrash metal and noise from The Laurel Tree, Ultimate Thrush, Line Idle, Gatr vs Blackhead, Burnt Altar, Yoko Oh No!, Jason Pussy Power and Team Little Rock.

Monday 6th April - Radio Session for The Every Other Monday Show on ALL FM: http://www.allfm.org 19:00 - 21:00
Kate Butler and Paddy Steer play the best in exciting and interesting music.

Thursday 9th April - A Music Club at The Others, Stoke Newington, London.
Hosted by NOW, featuring The Human Adult Band, Astrokan and Now. Experimental music, krautrock and noise.

Thanks for reading...

Cheers, Graham and Lou.

“BLOOD MOON – The Birth Of Tragedy (Womb)
- Hard-boiled challenging left field experiments in stretching the
envelope out in to noise sculpture. Blood Moon are a duo from
Manchester and this is is a set of exercises spinning around some kind
of semi-structured healthy unneighbourly freeform noise, distortion,
banging and crashing.
“’Eschewing the restrictive use of sequencing and slavish song
structure’, they play non-rhythm off against rhythm, they wrap things
in what sounds like pained sax and fractured guitar, electric noise and
discordant improvisation glancing off your head and pulling you all out
of shape - slices of harmony, composition and touches of things like Original Silence, Sunn O))), Sonic Youth, Flying Luttenbackers... a gloriously challenging set of experimental noise pieces and all well worth your precious time.”
