The Moon is Flat
Hello, we’re Flat Moon - we’re a weird and wonderful 6-piece band based in Leeds, UK. Our message is simple: it dunt matter how you look, where you’re from, or what you do - Flat Moon are here to have a funky lil time with you.
We’re somewhat known for having an unconventional set-up and sound; our music has been described a mixture of funk, punk, jazz, psychedelic rock and also “fucking carnage”. We like to call this sound B-Funk, as it’s our own version of heavy funk with a uniquely British post-punk twist.
Flat Moon’s line-up consists of 3 guitars, bass, saxophone and drums, BUT WAIT there’s a twist: we have no front-person. All 6 members are vocalists in various parts of our songs and we share lead and backup vocal duties between us - it’s all about getting the best sound possible, and getting everyone involved! Yes, our live shows are chaotic. Yes, you SHOULD come and see us.
The band was formed in early 2019 by founding members Jacob Kendrew (lead guitar, keys, vocals), Euan Kneale (drums, percussion, vocals), Matty White (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Alistair McCarthy (bass, vocals, producer). By late 2019, Alex Woods (rhythm guitar, vocals) had joined the group and we released our first single in early 2020.
A year later, after building a reputation for a great live act, we joined Leeds-based indie label Monomyth Records in March, 2021. Since then Scarlet Bishop (saxophone, vocals) joined the group in late 2021, making us the 6-piece that stands before you today.
Being a DIY band means that we not only create all of our own content (yes even this stunning website) but we also get the joy of paying for it all. If you want to see more music, more merch and more gigs, be sure to visit our store and get yourself a t-shirt, a poster, some stickers, plectrums or even a business card. If you're feeling really nice, there's an option to donate at the bottom of the store page, which would actually be insane! Any purchase or donation will make YOU yourself a flatmooner, giving you access to all of our music pre-release, exclusive content as well as discount codes and freebies!
So, that's us in a shutnell. Stay tuned, there's plenty more to come...
