Ryan's Gig Guide - September 2019

Monday 16th Sep O2 Academy, Birmingham  Check them out in our Spotify playlist www.ryansgigguide.com/audio  The Big Moon are supporting Pixies on their upcoming tour and have recently released brand new single 'It’s Easy Then' - their first new music in over two years. The British gang arrived like a breath of fresh air with their Mercury Prize nominated debut back in April 2017. Fronted by Juliette Jackson, The Big Moon unleashed song after song fizzing with melody and charm. It’s Easy Then is streaming now. It’s an explosive and assured few minutes of glorious leftfield pop music. It paints from a rich new palette of sound yet loses none of the energy that earned them the reputation as one of the most exciting and infectious new British bands in years. Explaining the track, vocalist and lyricist Juliette Jackson revealed:“It’s Easy Then is really about finding strength in strange times.We work too much, we think too much, we know too much so we all worry too much. Our anxieties are stoked every day. Music has this incredible way of helping us see with a new perspective, and ties up our feelings in a way that language by itself never could. I wanted to write a song that made me feel better. Something that captured the frustrations, but also the hope and joy all at the same time.” mouse-pointer www.thebigmoon.co.uk camera Pooneh Ghana www.ryansgigguide.com rgg Sep 2019 23
