When I lived in Washington, DC in the early 90's, the only radio station worth a d*mn was the "modern rock" station WHFS. Baton Rouge, LA's We Landed on the Moon would have fit perfectly with the artists that WHFS was playing at that time. We Landed on the Moon's new disc, This Will Be One for the Books , has a BIG sound and the band barrels through their songs with a high-energy pop exuberance. WLOTM's ringing guitar riffs and melodic verse-chorus-verse sound should ring a familiar chord with anyone who was [...]

Local band We Landed on the Moon! headlined a homecoming show that also featured Elsinore the other night to celebrate the release of their new album "This Will Be One for the Books." (More on Elsinore a little later.) I had been meaning to see WLotM! for a long time now, but somehow always missed them. I'm glad I caught them this time - they're fun and fast and poppy, and they have a great time on stage together. Singer Melissa Eccles has a [...]
More Cowbell presents… —————————— —— —————————— —– WED 10.14 @ Turf Club $6| 21+ | 9:30PM Brighton, MA (of Chicago, IL) Matt Kerstein and his crack squad of players - guitarist Jim Turek, bassist Devon Bryant and drummer Sam Koentopp - sink themselves into a general mood that feels like sad chandeliers, a cold frost and men sipping glasses of brandy or whiskey in glasses that are almost always empty and [...]
![We Landed On The Moon: These Little Wars [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1877612_lg.jpg)
We Landed On The Moon 's front-woman Melissa Eccles has a blessed voice that is absolutely perfect for a guitar pop wonderland. But, These Little Wars is obviously very much a group effort. The band's take on the eighties and nineties scene is compelling and exciting. And, unlike Neil Armstrong's supposed voyage, there is no doubt that this a real event of an album. This is a great album to dance, care, and rock to throughout any purely darkened night. There is no doubt that the salty [...]
We Landed On The Moon_Re: Your Letter Dejected and sulking out of a bar after being stood up on an afternoon date, Lloyd Christmas does a double take. He scans the framed newspaper from 1969 hanging by door and his mood changes to optimistic astonishment. Walking with a swagger now, he exits and exuberantly announces to the streets, "We landed on the moon!" I'm not sure if "We Landed On The Moon!" got their name from that scene, but remembering that classic Jim Carrey moment from Dumb and Dumber [...]

Andando sul Myspace dei We Landed On The Moon avrete la possibilità di toccare ocn mano quanto di buono possa uscire attualmente dalla Louisiana. "These Little Wars" è un concentrato di musica garage, pop graffiante e distorto che si è già guadagnato gli onori di mille ascolti in repeat da parte di appassionati del genere e decine di buonissime quotes da parte della stampa specializzata. Ecco anche in Italia quindi un assaggio (per alcuni sarà solo una rivisitazione, ma sicuramente una delle migliori) di quanto di buono possiate mai chiedere a un gruppo indie. Canzoni [...]

Shows are usually pretty limited over the winter, especially on weekdays. Following the trend, this week is a little light. Most being one city stops, but with some definite highlights. My Brightest Diamond (photo from r5productions ) Tuesday In my opinion, Rachael Yamagata is under-appreciated. She creates elegant melodies and well-textured songs. When I first saw her perform, it was in 2004. She was a better version of Fiona Apple and her latest album [...]
