moonlife
San Francisco's shiniest synth-pop band on a quest for global domination through infectiously catchy songs.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed way back in 1994, moonlife has been performing live around the San Francisco Bay Area since 1999.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Our live shows are known for their energetic performances, shiny clothing, glitter, Claudio's charming stage presence, and our lovely go-go dancer Cassaundra.
So far we've played in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Las Vegas, Anaheim, and San Diego.
Every show has its moments. The most recent amusing moment is the riot we started in Las Vegas. OK, it was a very small riot, consisting of one very drunk bass player from another band. But he did get bounced... twice. That counts, right?
