Two things will catch you immediately off guard about local groove-rockers Night Moves, a newish project from former members of dance punks The Battle Royale. First, the depth of the trio’s musical lineage is lost when looking at the slight pups. Todd Rundgren? The Flying Durrito Brothers? These are not influences you’d typically associate with PBR-swillin’, college-age musicians. Second, the band’s amorous projections are jarring—in a good way. Frontman John Pelant yearns and howls all over the group’s excellent debut Colored Emotions like he’s ready to explode. The soulful and sexy results render Night Moves one of the Twin Cities most promising new groups.
