Description

Man of Moon are a two piece psychedelic rock band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Chris Bainbridge and Michael Reid met in college in 2014 when they formed the band and starting writing and gigging almost instantly after first jamming together in class which led to them dropping out of college to focus completely on the music.

In 2015 they released first single 'The Road' on Manchester label Melodic which the New York Times said was 'the best debut single from a UK band since 'Ceremony' by New Order'. This gave the band a huge step up in the industry and they started getting impressive support slots with bands such as The Phantom Band, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Frightened Rabbit and more.

In 2016 the band released their first EP 'Medicine' on Melodic Records which saw the band embarking on their first UK tour up and down the country, supporting The Twilight Sad on tour and playing major festivals such as T in the Park, Belladrum and The Great Escape.

In 2018 the band went on tour with one of their favourite bands 'Django Django', the band's biggest tour to date consisting of 20+ shows all over Europe and the UK playing to huge crowds every night. This was the band's first major foot print in Europe and are planning to go back soon.

2019 is the year that Man of Moon have been building up to. They will be releasing a brand new EP, 'Chemicals' and have plans to follow up with an album later in the year!

Description

A bright, friendly, Alternative Music Bar & Venue in the centre of the town, showcasing signed and unsigned acts every Friday and Saturday night.

The Eagle started hosting live music back in mid 2012, having reopened late in the year previous, with open mic nights hosted by local musicians and steadily built a reputation on the local music scene. By popular demand the first floor was repurposed as a more suitable live music venue than the ground floor could ever offer.

Sadly, it was short lived as a noise complaint closed the first floor, forcing the music to move back downstairs where it remained...that was until 2016.

2016 saw the old Eagle bar close its doors and be reborn as The Tooth & Claw. With huge changes throughout it was clear that the focus was now solely on music. Following the venue placing first in PRS For Music's annual competition Music Makeover, earning The Tooth & Claw £10,000 and a consultancy with GRAMMY award winning music producer Steve Levine, they managed to put right what so many thought had been big blow to the local music scene.

The first floor was refurbished and reopened with soundproofing and specially selected equipment by Steve Levine that would deliver an unparalleled sound.

In the time since the reopening The Tooth & Claw has quickly gained a formidable reputation as one of Scotlands best small music venues, playing host to bands and club nights such as Bossy Love, Schnarff Schnarff, Saint PHNX and Hypnotic Groove.
