So I was reading a quick “Playlist” Q&A with Tommy Allen of Drug Rug on the The Phoenix’s blog, On The Download, that asked Allen to list the “Best bands seen while working either the Middle East or P.A.’s Lounge this year”, and the one that struck me immediately was Cambridge, MA’s Mmoss.
If anyone who’s been reading here for a while can guess, I am a sucker for bands doing the psyched out 60’s rock-folk-pop thing, and Mmoss do it quite well. Of the four tracks they have made available on their Myspace page from their album, Rome Wasn’t Built In A Daze, my favorite is “Hedgecreeper”, the poppiest of the lot. Made up of a group of musicians from mostly defunct now Boston area bands, The Mules, Protokoll, pSyLeNt ChILD, Oliver North, and Bakula, Mmoss are a relatively new band who really just started playing out this summer.
And though is doesn’t look as though Mmoss will be making their way out West anytime soon, when they actually do, it will be that much sweeter, as it usually is when any regional type band finally goes for it and books a national tour.
Download “Hedgecreeper” (mp3) from their album, Rome Wasn’t Built In A Daze.
