The Moon Invaders were formed in early 2001 in Belgium by vocalist Matthew Hardison and drummer Nicolas Leonard. Over the years, the band has had several band member changes, but the Moon Invaders of today is composed of nine members: vocalists Matthew Hardison & Thomas Hardison, tenor saxophonist David Loos, trombonist Manghi Murinni, trumpeter Rolf Langsjoen, keyboardist Sergio Raimundo, guitarist Michael Bridoux, bassist Arnaud Pemmers, and drummer Nicolas Leonard.
They recorded in several studios and put out their first EP “First Wave” in 2002. After many enthusiastic reactions and constant touring the Moon Invaders planned their first longplayer. The self-titled studio album was produced in Brussels by the well-known Victor Rice and Grover Records released this astonishing debut in 2004. “Breakin’ Free” the second release on Grover Records followed in 2005: again supported by Vic Rice, but this time mixed in the basement of the well-known Jammyland Record shop in NYC.
Since the release of their first album, the Moon Invaders have toured all over Europe through Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, France and Luxembourg; and became one of the best ska acts of the Belgian scene. In May 2007, the moon invaders have had the pleasure of being the backing band of the legenderay Mr. Rocksteady Alton Ellis for a special show in Brussels.
They recently completed their third album called Moovin'n'Groovin' on Grover Records. On this latest release, the band has had the pleasure of collaborating with Slacker’s frontman Vic Ruggiero who produced and mixed this exciting brand new record.
