We are the Moon Goons. A spell-casting group of party rockers that have recently crash landed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are here to document, groove, creep, and stir up all sorts of mayhem in the night with all of you. We take party photos every weekend and make exclusive monthly mixes all in addition to hosting two of the best monthly dance parties in Minneapolis. Honeymoon and So Electric! More information below.
On November 7, 2009: HotDish (1st Saturdays @ BLACK) presents "A LOCAL’S GUIDE TO TRAIN WRECKIN’ (_NOT)" featuring Bryan Gerrard (Celebrity), Soulfeather (Caterpillar), Nate Laurence (Bunch-o-labels / BLACK) and J. Matthews (Hot-N-spicy / BLACK).
We know you love it local – naughty famished monkeys! So, we’re using all locally grown ingredients this time. It’s a neighborhood cookout in November! Gluttony will be strictly enforced (but wear what you want)!
Bryan Gerrard: Um…do we need to write an intro Twin Cities househeads? What’s cool though…ready for this…we’re forcing him to resurrect the “deep” from his many days in the VIP; remember…when the place bumped and we all had tears in our eyes because the music actually did move us? Yep…that!
Introducing DJ Soulfeather to the VIP: If you don’t know him yet, he’s got the funkiest collection of tracks you’ve ever heard. The B-boys/girls in town have started to collect in a small cipher in front of him every Saturday at the Caterpillar Lounge where he is a resident – merely because he is…well…the “freshest kid.” We met him during gigs in Duluth at the Red Star and dragged his ass to the cities with us!
And…you’ll get a true taste of HotDish residents this time: Nate Laurence and J. Matthews – giving it to you unnaturally dope for the middle half of the night.
TOO MUCH LOVE freaky (Crisco Twister) lovers: REMEMBER that when you enter the side door, you get free crossover to TML. Double your pleasure, double your fun! You're invited. We'd love to see you in the VIP!
This Friday, we are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. Every month or so we will present a new audio-visual performance based on a different theme/story. We will be collaborating with artists and other creative musicians along the way so let us know if you have something you'd want to bring into this project.
The first in the series is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. It will be a musical adventure, and we hope that you can come participate :)
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
HotDish (1st Saturdays @ BLACK) is back - the energy continues to build - and it's ON this Saturday! CHICAGO IS IN THE HOUSE! Frankie J (of the Sound Republic), Scrubfish & Laurence, with birthday boy J. Matthews! We're drizzling this one with extra funk and boom tiss!
