Stephen Markley talked to Rich & Vell, showed himself to be an awesome person, very cool and accomodating. Then he used his immense journalism skills to provide this wonderful piece for the RedEye:

We are abundantly appreciative to Steve, Brian and the entire RedEye staff.

The Moses Gun are featured in the May 18th, 2008 Chicago Sun Times music section - specifically by the one and only Mr. Jim DeGoratis! Check it out:

"One of the first skills any fledgling rock critic learns is to dismiss forthright any band's alleged formula/recipe for how it crafted its sound: "We're like the Beatles meet Led Zeppelin with a touch of the Monkees and a hint of Parliament-Funkadelic!" inevitably sounds like lame John Mayer (and yes, I know that's redundant). But the Chicago quartet the Moses Gun couldn't help but pique my interest when bassist Rich Harris wrote to promise "a multicultural band that grew up listening to Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Wu Tang and Husker Du ... sort of like an African-American Pixies, or Queens of the Stone Age." And guess what? The band actually delivered it."

Much thanks to the esteemed Mr.DeRo for checking us out. Much more to follow...

The Moses Gun's Kudzai Kasambira and Vell Mullens recently made an in-studio apperance at Chicago's best indie college radio station, WLUW 88.7 (Loyola University). Aside from the usual witty banter and shameless self promotion (gigs at Goose Island May 2nd and Double Door May 13th) they blessed the house with acoustic versions of songs from the upcoming (and long awaited) debut disc. The set list:

1. Walk it Off 

2. Better Things 

3. Gold 

4. Faraway

Snippets from their interview as well as the versions of  Better Things and Faraway will be posted and available for free download in the upcoming week. Peace.

The Moses Gun has finally posted new music. It's been a long time coming, but the fruits of our labor have been realized - relatively speaking.
