The New Red Moons and The Union Suits at Circle-A Cafe
It’s one thing to faithfully replicate the sounds of the past, but it’s another to do it with any degree of originality and skill. The members of Milwaukee’s The New Red Moons pull off that sometimes-difficult trick remarkably well, and though they may refer to themselves as “Tin Pan Alley rock,” they have more in common with a slightly dialed-down Queen than they do with the famed hit-factory of yore. The Moons’ biggest strength lies in WAMI-nominated Joe McIlheran, a singer whose impressive vocal chords are matched only by his melodic prowess.
