Licker's Last Leg

Goon Moon

GOON MOON is the spooky and dirgy alignment of a sorted and celebrated bunch. The band features Jeordie White, who is better known as Twiggy Ramirez from Marilyn Manson and current bassist for Nine Inch Nails, and Chris Goss, record producer for the likes of Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age, while also being the frontman of desert rock band Masters Of Reality.

Musically, the album is a true musical potpourri, which reflects the group's across-the-boards influences. No denying the recognizable sounds of both NIN and QOTSA, but also the influences of the new folk scene such as Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. With a lot of the weirder stuff being directly influenced by Deerhoof.

Also, included on the sessions are Zach Hill (Hella), Josh Freese (The Vandals/A Perfect Circle/NIN), Josh Homme (QOTSA), Dave Catching (EODM/Mondo Generator), Whitey Kirst (Iggy Pop), and Peter Perdichizzi (The Flys).

They include a cover of the early Bee Gees', "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You", which White chalks up to being a "huge Brit-pop fan".

With White being on a European tour with Nine Inch Nails, Goss hard at work producing the next Queens Of The Stone Age album, a tour seems out of the question, but they are confident they will be able to play at least a few shows in support of the new album.
