Hi! We're Lauren and Nina, two best friends (not sisters) who make up The Moaning Myrtles, a piano-based wizard rock band from Hillsborough, NJ. The idea for the band was sparked in November 2005 when we saw Harry and the Potters play a live show and Lauren brought up how many new wizard rock bands had started. Jokingly, Nina suggested that they start a Moaning Myrtle band. Strangely enough, Myrtle was Lauren’s first choice of a character to base a band off of as well.
We started playing live shows as The Moaning Myrtles in the summer of 2006 and we were immediately hooked. Even those first local shows attracted a turnout of dressed up and enthusiastic Harry Potter fans. Since then, we have played alongside wizard rock bands such as The Remus Lupins, The Whomping Willows, Draco and the Malfoys, The Parselmouths, Ministry of Magic, and many others.
Since it seems like MySpace communication is slowing down and Facebook is more difficult to communicate with fans through, we're starting an email list. We'll send out newsletters when we add shows and when we release CDs or have other cool news having to do with The Moaning Myrtles! It won't fill up your inboxes either, I promise. You should join!
