The Moseses are gathering no moss, rolling through the reeds of the local rawk circuit by turning up in every city park that will have them.
They’re a jam band. That means any festival will welcome them.
Still, the band’s salvation and growing popularity are making some other acts worry. It’s a small scene. Who’s NOT getting those gigs? Who’s still stuck in the swamps?
We know three good bands, for instance, who got closed out of Downtown Hoopla VIII next weekend at the Moose Society. These bands blame The Moseses.
The Moseses take big steps now, grabbing double-length sets and installing their side projects as support acts.
Instead of grumbling, the uninvited acts have formed the Fat Cow Festival, a less civic and more rural gathering out in the fields near The Shaking Quakers’ farm. (No registration required this time; appropriate permits have been given. No alcohol is allowed, but neither is it allowed at the Hoopla.) The Fat Cow faction is even cooking up their own jamhappy supergroup, dubbed Lunar Bull, which is promising to play at least four hours straight.

We’ll see who has the upper hand after this: the entertainers or the organizers. With The Moseses ruling the city fests and Fat Cow over the bridge in the boonies, we imagine a showdown at the river.

Beth L. & Dan at the Bullfinch… Former Latter Former (who really should change their name, but then they’ll be Formerly Former Latter) at Hamilton’s with Sin Cred… Taha 20 at D’ollaire’s with opening act TBA…
