   About Get Down Moses
"Filtering rock-steady, reggae, and some dub through a mod-rock, garage-rock influence. I think you’ll really like ‘em." (DJ Simmerdown, Rude Boys Revenge and Coffee Hour, KPSU, Portland.)

We’re a little bit rock steady. We’re a little bit rock and roll. (Here it would help if you thought of Donnie and Marie Osmond… Actually, on second thought, don’t think of Donnie and Marie Osmond. Avoid it at all costs.) Catchy, but not bubble gum. Clever, but not conceited. Responsible, but not preachy. DIY, but not Low-Fi. Gettin' folks out on the dance floor and out on the streets: we're calling it garage-rock-steady.

Spreading the good word since the Spring of 2007: we’ve been leaving a mark all over the Rainy City, with our ska-dub-punk-rock brethren and with show-goers at large, opening for the likes of the Toasters, the Voodoo Glow Skulls, Chris Murray, the Slackers, the Diablotones and the Georgetown Orbits. We’ve produced an EP and played up and down the west coast twice already, from the seedy Sunset Strip to the swanky bars of Northbeach, from the underground sounds of pirate radio and am, to the sweaty pubs of the college towns in between, minstrels for the Tao and Rock and Roll.

Hey guys - great to see you again at Bluebeat.  Hope the rest of your tour was cool!

I read your tour zine while having my morning hot beverage today and it was excellent!!!  It's very cool you guys printed those up.  It's great to read the lyrics and also the quotations and anecdotal info, all of which was interesting, insightful and well worth reading.  Awesome!!
