InfluencesTexas
Sounds LikeMike and the Moonpies delivers the kind of country music we love - tear-in-our-beer, steel and fiddle laden honky tonk with a classic sensibility that keeps you company in a dark bar on a lonely and rowdy night. Fronted by Mike Harmeier, who took a turn to his country roots after the Come Latelys, the quartet proves about as authentic as it gets, and to catch one of their shows at the Hole in the Wall is to experience Austin at it's most essential. Harmeier's tough twang settles like worn in leather, cut with a broken, aching drawl that splits the difference between Georges Strait and Jones with a distinctive Texas flair. - AustinSound.net


Chances are you may have seen Mike and The Moonpies playing around town. It’s Americana, it’s good roots music, it’s the honky tonk experience that they’ll give you in a country bar or an indie venue - or just about any place else, for that matter. - KUT


Mike Harmeier has figured out what it takes to make a good country record. He has mastered the art of stepping back in musical time and solely focusing on the roots of a genre. His band MIKE AND THE MOONPIES is on my top five list of Austin bands and I have to say that their shows are like an ugly bar fight with a hug at the end. Completely entertaining and organic in a raw form, MIKE AND THE MOONPIES prove that not all music has to sound new….and it definitely does not require Timbaland as a producer. - Ryan Scheer


Mike Harmeier is quite a guy — How can he be so wet behind the ears and also principal of a major music outlet (Phono Records) here in Austin? And a guy who writes the low-downest songs I have heard in a long, long time (and I grew up listening to the Louisiana Hayride!). The band — Burton Lee on pedal steel and Mike’s longtime pals Kyle Ponder on drums and Preston Rhone on bass, plus the Reverend Jeff Elliott on fiddle and Joey Thompson (Archibalds) on mandolin on the recording – has that look, too, of a bunch of honky-tonkers who have piled up millions of miles even at a very young age. - Duggan Flanakin (Flanfire.com)
