ARTIST DETAIL

Moon Owl’s Mages

Moon Owl’s Mages is a 5 piece psych/ garage rock band from Boise, Idaho. Forming as Jack Ball’s backing band in 2019, the group took a liking to playing covers by artists like OSEES, Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Ty Segall, Coachwhips and other psych outfits. After several shows around town, they decided to accept a new quest; forming Moon Owl’s Mages. First act of business was to write, record, mix and master an album in two week’s time. Birthing their first album, “Skelly Bones and the Flaming Crown”, a concept record about a skeleton and his nemesis. After a hiatus due to COVID, Moon Owl’s Mages are back in business baby! “Kill The Crackle” was released in September of ‘22 and the band describes it as dog beats, psychobilly space prog, Floyd-funk, spooky tunes, biting music and more! So if you like any of those, you might like them!

The Plastic Cherries

The Plastic Cherries began as a home recording project between couple Shelby & Joe Maddock, making songs on old tape machines inspired by glam, soft rock, shoegaze, Elliott Smith, and their dog. These songs became their first album, Sunshine, available on LP & cassette.

With pianist Natalie Hamilton, drummer Wayne Burdick, and bassist Stephen Cox, they have grown into a charismatic act that channels the theatrics and pop sensibility of their heroes while still feeling experimental and homemade.

“The Plastic Cherries are mesmerizing. They will take you back to the future, and to a time beyond – where rock has had a meaningful pop resurgence and everything feels new again.” – Provo Music Magazine

Emerging from Salt Lake’s growing scene, they have shared festival stages with Pixies, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dinosaur Jr., Blonde Redhead, among others.

Their new album The Plastic Cherries On The Moon tells a psychedelic story of escape and return, beginning with the anthemic single Lovers On The Run. The album features collaborations with SLC producer Denney Fuller of The Mellons and guest mixing from Chris Cohen. Both playful and earnest, “…On The Moon” is an expansive sequel to their lo-fi debut inspired by Ziggy Stardust, Rocky Horror, Exile On Main Street & The B-52’s.
