Searching for some GREAT new music? Thursday night at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa always offers an eclectic mix of local artists, but last night they featured a particularly exciting emerging band. On their website, Max and the Moon describe themselves as “an indie rock, harmony rich, beat-driven band from Chino Hills, CA.” Bassist Zachariah will tell you they hail from a nice little horse town, and guitarist/vocalist John will tell you that Zachariah loves everything. We love that.

From their website, you can purchase and download their 4-song EP, or just give it a listen. Their single “Out of My Head” was recently featured on KROQ’s Locals Only.

The band performs “The Way I See.” Music video coming soon! Check out their last one here.

What would Movember be without a mustache? HUGE thank you to Zachariah for posing for this awesome ‘stache pic, and to the rest of the band for taking the time to chat with the fans.

This is absolutely a band that needs to be seen live. Max and the Moon has fantastic energy with both the audience and with each other. Performing great as a cohesive unit, they create a collective sound that grabs you and doesn’t let go. Max and the Moon, I can’t get you out of my head!

Check out their Facebook page and Twitter account (@maxandthemoon) for news about their next show at The Satellite in Los Angeles.

In the meantime, enjoy!
