Bands///Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble

Ha. Ha. Ha. Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble. Quite a long, fancy name for a little record.

Crescent Moon is a rapper turned renaissance rapper. He started out rapping in high school with Oddjobs and also began doing live touring work as a rapper with Atmosphere. From there he went crazy and Oddjobs became Kill the Vultures. Kill the Vultures is an artistic departure into the darker side of somber Midwestern tundra rap turned alcoholic. Kill the Vultures is big in Europe and small in America. Crescent Moon lives in Minneapolis. Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble.

Big Trouble is the musicians on the record you just got in the mail. Everyone in the band has been or is in Heiruspecs. Heiruspecs is a ten-year old rap band/toddler that has been napping for the last two years after a big van accident. Right as Heiruspecs was super busy and doing lots of touring their bass player, Sean 'Twinkie Jiggles' McPherson (and your current third person narrator) decided to start a band like Big Trouble that harkened back to the three-hour blues gigs of Sean's youth in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. At these gigs one could really learn how to play their instrument and how to play without monitors, and how to make some decent money cause you didn't have to split it with four bands. But, fuck, nobody wants to play Brown Eyed Girl, not even Van Morrison. So why not play smart-ass covers of songs without words and get paid like Bad Plus? Let the harkening begin. How can a band play for the three hours, get paid, and not play Mustang Sally? The Twin Cities is in Big Trouble. But every good instrumental band wants to start working with singing/rapping troubadours who write amazing words. Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble.
