Quatuor parisien exilé à Bruxelles, Moonage Hookers distille un rock hybride, sculpté dans la matière même de la vie. 

Entre sonorités vaporeuses et modernité, leur musique se situe au croisement des genres et des époques. Déluge de guitares, batterie lourde, synthés trippés et voix envoutantes, Moonage Hookers libère une vibe hypnotique qui emprunte aussi bien au rock des seventies qu'à la pop ou la musique électronique. 

Le groupe ne laisse rien au hasard : chaque guitare, chaque parole veut exprimer quelque chose. Les Hookers puisent leur inspiration dans la réalité même de l’existence. Dans cette société malade, ils invitent à s'affranchir des règles, à sortir du moule pour revenir à l’essentiel : l’amour, le partage, la liberté, le sexe, la passion, le rêve…
Avec leurs mots percutants, ils s’évertuent à donner le courage et le cœur nécessaires pour braver les épreuves et rêver à nouveau, comme une douce thérapie. 

La scène est leur terrain de jeu et d’expérimentation privilégié. 
Avec un premier EP sorti en 2018 suivi de 3 singles, le groupe écume les scènes parisiennes - Gibus, Bus Palladium, Supersonic, International... Chaque concert est appréhendé comme un véritable show avec un seul mot d’ordre : donner du plaisir. 

En 2022, Moonage Hookers revient avec un nouvel EP plus mature que jamais, composé et enregistré en totale autonomie dans une maison reculée : A MODERN TALE.
