Half Moon Run at Field Trip 2014

It seems to be a trend these days. So many bands have a drum up front. Or they bring one out to beat on during the big tune. It's becoming cliché at this point.

Half Moon Run took to a fog filled stage on the beautiful afternoon of Day 1 of Field trip, and they had the drum. But don't worry, they put on a great show anyway. It was an impressive and otherwise cliché-free set including many fun tunes.

Check out some Half Moon Run songs below. Their album Dark Eyes is out now.

"She Wants to Know"

"Full Circle"

"Judgement"

"Call Me In The Afternoon"

I took pics at Field Trip with my iPhone. Hopefully next year, I'll be in the photo pit with my better gear.

Half Moon Run

I wrote a post about Half Moon Run over a year ago. I never polished it off and hit "publish". Of course, I've seen the band's name around a lot in the year + since then. They recently released a video for a track called "She Wants to Know" from their Dark Eyes album. Here it is:

And here's the original post:

I just happened upon a great song by a band I've never heard of before. They're called Half Moon Run and they're twentysomethings from Ottawa and BC, forming in Montreal. Their début album is called Dark Eyes. Their video is for the first track on that album, "Full Circle". Great tune, and the snippets of other songs I sampled sound really good too. I'll definitely be looking out for these guys.
