The Moon Balloons is a San Francisco based space rock band that's got a whole lotta soul, a bunch of psychedelic noise, and isn't afraid to toss some spicy funk on your eardrums' BBQ grill.

The Moon Balloons drift through their perpetual adolescence with a substantial lack of musical identity due in-part to each member's orthodox religious upbringing, the intense, undeniable, yet completely unacknowledged sexual tension between them, and the fact that they don't give a (SHUTYAMOUTH) about your over-simplified opinions on something as intangibly beautiful as multi-timbrel organic almonds and smooth harmonic honey-oat clusters with waves of highly-enriched chemical vibrations sent out to chaotically bounce off the walls of big dark rooms full of happy, sweaty people. 

I'm hungry. Who's hungry?

This band consists of four members: Dylan Swift (lead guitar, vocals, wacky noise extraordinaire), Danae "deelovely" Labraña (vocals, percussion, bringer of the Chilean thunder sass), virtuoso Josh Tobias (his right hand is a brooding pianoman, his left hand brings Bad Girl Synthilonius Funk) and Jeremy "JerBear U" Collins (whose drums will punch you in the face!) 

So, if you want to get down to some loud, fun, space rock then The Moon Balloons is ready for you! Find us on Facebook to find out when and where our next space adventure begins.

And remember: your mother loves you and The Moon Balloons love all.

Stillman has been the musical alter-ego of Chaz Craik since his first release in 2004, The Weightless EP. Recorded in his bedroom studio on a creaky old PC and a shoestring budget it nevertheless had a great vibe and aroused a good deal of interest. We'll add the EP here as a set soon, so check back for updates.

The EP got great reviews and Channel 4 said 'It's as if Elliot Smith and Tom McRae got together to make the music they can't quite do on their own. Think that's hyperbole? Track down a copy and prove us wrong." Which was pretty nice really.

That EP caught the attention of independent label TRL Music who signed him and his debut album People Like a Happy Ending was released in 2007 debuting on the front page of no less than ten iTunes territories. The album went on to win 'Best' Album' at the Glasswerk New Music Awards later that year.

A familiar story with indepent labels, a lack of resource and financial means meant the album did not  sell as much as the label had hoped and the album deserved. In 2009 Craik parted amicably from TRL and self-released his second album 'Blood Dark Sea' which is available to stream here on SoundCloud. It marked a change in sound with more organic and evolved song structures and a stronger emphasis on his guitar playing. The album got good reviews online and in several print guitar magazines which praised the melodic and layered arrangements.

In 2010 Craik released several songs individually. Regular writing sessions with a drummer meant Stillman took on a funkier and jazzier edge in the rhythms. 'Gold Days' in particular became a live favourite with its funky filtered guitar and dark moog sounds over some driving funk drumming.

These songs and both albums are all available on Stillman's Bandcamp page.

Recording is underway for a new EP to be released in May this year - as soon as it is ready to release you will be able to hear it here on SoundCloud!

Thanks to Jace Crawford for his amazing artwork displayed here.

Music from WayB4 has its roots in a mix of long gone sounds, spanning from 1960's psychedelia to 80's New Wave, deliberately put together by a person who, by his own admission, is only partially informed of the actual events and how they unfolded.

Songs and music here relate to various projects, the older ones are part of a (sort of) album, which, very aptly, was titled "No Conclusions Drawn, No Actions Taken" (I can confirm this has been the case). 
This was followed by some piano pieces, just experiments trying to replicate some musical styles I like. After that, my interest waned a bit, so I haven't put much stuff on this website, anyway, other than using this a sort of vault, since it's pretty obvious nobody will listen to it, anyway. 

Feedbacks are welcome, thanks in advance to those stopping by and giving a listen.
