Nix Moon are five spirited scallywags striving to create music that strikes a chord. More like brothers than friends, their live energy is both invigorating and infectious, never failing to get a crowd moving with their performances. 

Undeniably different, their unruly rhythms are hard to define within any one genre. The closest description; prog rock flirting with untamed psychedelic tendencies and Eastern influences. 

The band’s unusual name derives from the goddess Nyx. She was born of chaos, embodying darkness and the night but in turn, gave birth to brightness and day. Although the lads tend to keep things light-hearted, their lyrics and music run a deep parallel with the tale of the goddess. They often bring their listeners from dark, alluring opening melodies to a collective purge of frenzied dancing, albeit usually ending with a sense of relief and connectedness.

Since the band’s conception over four years ago, they have featured repeatedly on highly esteemed festival line ups such as Electric Picnic, Knockanstockan, Longtitude, etc. They were also delighted to headline Friday night at last year’s Vantastival upon winning the Firestone Battle of the Bands competition. Other notable accolades include winning the National Busker’s Fleadh, performing as one of Whelan’s Ones to Watch, releasing a debut E.P., ‘Soul Traffic’ and recording live sessions in the prestigious Windmill Lane Recording Studios.

Over the past few months the guys have been busy recording their debut album, spending time in the internationally acclaimed Grouse Lodge Studios. They hope to begin releasing this new material very soon. 


“Nix Moon clearly have a tonne of musical talent. They’ve also already shown a lust for experimentation. These two things together provide a combination that could result in the band becoming unstoppable”. - Remy’s Music and Film Blog

"Nix Moon are a hugely impressive live band. They bowled me over. They are the quintessential festival band”. - Muso’s Guide

“This band have progressed so quickly in what is a remarkably competitive time for breakthrough Irish music. The sheer effort that goes into their performance is only surpassed by the ease with which they get a crowd moving. It is only a matter of time before these guys make it big”. - Shane Hannon, Newstalk 106-108FM

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.
