MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/welandedonthemoon About 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 played just for their friends til their friends were enough to fill the joint. 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. But above all, they got to play music in cities they'd never been to. So after two years, they realized what they each had been going through- being stuck, celebrating, sweating, pleading, and then putting it all back on spin cycle to wash for weeks. They lost a bandmate. They gained a bandmate. And that's how it all came about. We Landed on the Moon's new album is called These Little Wars. If you want to know what it sounds like, here are a few things that'll catch your ear: beautifully intimate female vocals, whirling synths stacked on interlocking guitars, danceable heartbeat rhythms and wonderfully layered songwriting. The second track on the album The Night was Open is the feeling that you get when your leg falls asleep and is just beginning to wake into an explosion of tinglies. Re Your Letter is the sound of the walls crumbling in around you. You might just have to claw your way out. We Landed on the Moon! will be touring this fall with These Little Wars in tow. You'll be able to find it on ITunes, or just email/myspace for one. Indie Rock Sexy Party! buzz, buzz, buzz for These Little Wars "A late contender for album of the year."
