Moonshake

Those roots explain a lot about how Moonshake arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Long Fin Killie, Disco Inferno, Bardo Pond, Medicine and A.R. Kane, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Snowpony and Long Fin Killie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.

Background

Moonshake were a British-based experimental rock band, existing between 1991 and 1997. The only consistent member was singer, sampler player and occasional guitarist David Callahan, who initially co-led the project with Margaret Fiedler. Fiedler and bass player John Frenett left Moonshake in 1993 to form the more commercially successful Laika.
