Moon Duo was formed by Ripley Johnson of Wooden Shjips and Sanae Yamada in San Francisco, California, United States in 2009. Inspired initially by the legendary duo of John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster as touchstones.
Psychedelic rockers Moon Duo touched down in Tāmaki Makaurau last night for their only New Zealand performance of The Lightship, a phenomenal immersion in both sight and sound.
In a setting, acoustic drums are always going to have the edge over mechanised gonzo beats and so, in the process, Moon Duo have become less of a Wooden Shjips side project and more a band that has overtaken it antecedents.
