{.:.}{.:.} LIVE: A one-man show, part piano-rock, part theatre. Moore performs the entire song cycle of his debut solo record, ’One Ride,’ singing, attacking and caressing the piano, and simultaneously anchoring the song's groove on a kick drum. He illuminates the love-relationship storyline inherent in the song cycle by embodying four characters in cell-phone dialogues between each song.
{.:.}{.:.} STUDIO: Peter sings and plays drums, bass, guitars, keys, saxes, and all other varmints

Think Tree is still one of my favorite bands ever!! It was a pleasure recording the Zia Album at Bella! Hope all is well my friend..... Cheers from the Virgin Islands!
Peter, It's difficult to explain how much I appreciate this record. First off, the way you sing is awesome. Perfect. You can sing everything, every style. For instance, you can sing tense and almost punk-ish, like in "When We're Together" or smooth jazz, almost Al Jarreau, in the silly but fun "Droppin' Trou" or motown/funk, like in "Sister Sunshine." Instead of sounding like imitations, each style sounds to us like it's coming from inside him. Natural, not an affectation. Second, the songs are awesome. I don't understand all what he says in the songs (English not my first language), but I do get that the whole record is a love story, for the beginning to the end. And we can hear the different musical styles following the years (60's, 70's, 80's, etc.), as well providing the proper emotional background for each song. And the short piano & voice songs that are inbetween the main songs tell about this relationship story like it's a bike ride. Third, the arrangements (the French word for this is "producing")... all the little things we hear in the back, and the harmonies are great. So enjoyable ! And then I understand you're playing all the instruments ! Amazing ! Right now I'm listening to the beginning of "Wicked Lies"... Fantastic ! It's like old Pink Floyd. Many other things I wanted to say, but forget... I hope you're working on another record. BRAVO ! paXal
Alright, what do you think about this for that review of your album that I'm supposed to put on ITunes: "Dude, my friend told me to check out this album so I checked it out and it's like sooo totally awesome....and then I found out that he lives in Boston and I was like 'OMG, NO WAY' cause I live in Boston too! LOL!"
your music is total RIGHTEOUSNESS!... an amalgam of everything i love about music... can't wait for you to drop the rest on us.... I'll be there. Peace H
CONGRATS on the engagement!!! it's weird...I told mom literally like a month before you proposed that one day you would turn around!!! clairvoyant like gramps!
so exciting!!!! When's the big day?!?!? muahh LOVE and MISS!!!
Cool stuff! Early Elvis Costello meets mid-period Beach Boys at Marvin Gaye's house. "If Heaven Ever Knew" is our fave. Thanks for the add. Welcome aboard and don't be a stranger.
hey man, thanks for the ear vitamins- i suspected i had some kind of audio nutrient deficiency but now i'm sure of it. i will revisit your page often- i hope the solo record will be out before i build up too much of a resistance.
Thanks for the add, so many lights, bands, memories since we worked together. Nice to see you and Will both still bonded, the least alpha and the most intense of the bunch.
There are some great indie kids down here doing some amazing things. Check out Post Records and Mumpsy on my friends list.
