We Landed on the Moon!

We Landed on the Moon! is John, Melissa, Josh, Jon and Spence.

In 2006, they made their first album, We Landed on the Moon! and then, by dumb luck or perhaps because of the tasty astronaut ice cream they gave with each record, radio stations across the country played it. People clapped and cheered and whistled at their Baton Rouge shows (those who could whistle)- enough that they decided to go play shows for far away people in a van that ran out of freon every hundred miles or so.

They became experts on convenience stores across the country. They sang and played and danced and drank, and learned things that you just don't learn at home- that the cops in NYC's Chinatown are surprisingly civil even if your host wants to throw a microwave out his front door at 4 am, and that there's no tougher walk than dragging your equipment across the crowded sidewalks of SXSW. They got to play music in Toronto and DC and all sorts of cities they wanted to see, and they got to do it together.

And even more amazingly, people started showing up to sing their songs with them everywhere they went. In Dec of  2008, they released their 2nd record, These Little Wars. It was named Album of the Week by an Italian music webzine. This made the band want to make even more music, and to eat pizza.

 And so they did.

We Landed on the Moon's new record is the perfect storm of 8 months of frenzied music writing.  Recorded in six blissful days at Fudge Studios in New Orleans, the record will be flying into your eardrums in late 2009. We Landed on the Moon! is currently scheduled to showcase at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC this October.
