ABOUT THE SONG: Well the Summer of 2020 is here but still dear to our hearts was the Summer of ’75, the year we left High School and came of age. We embraced our new found freedom and the sounds of those years still resonate with us with this song.

WHAT DO WE DO? MOSS is a five-piece rock band that pumps it out with songs of social and political conscience. “Modern day griots” with a sound that gives a “hat tip to the seventies”. With decades of experience, you’ll hear the road in their music delivering something very unique in today’s contemporary music scene. Unapologetically a square peg in a round hole. Imagine; “Midnight Oil meets the Aztecs at Sunbury” WHO ARE WE? Suzie Craig: Lead singer Mark Simpkin: Guitar / Backing Vocals Ian (NED) Kelly: Guitar, Keyboards / Backing Vocals Justin Wynn: Bass Guitar Dave Anthony: Drums / Backing Vocals WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT US? “Their performance interwove inspired lyrics with visuals and performance.The excellent songwriting of MOSS goes straight to core of what is happening in our times. They are the modern day griots of the Western world .. They epitomise the creative act of hope.. I would highly recommend supporting this band. They are highly creative, collaborative, and what they are saying is worth listening to.” Ref; Naomi Ebert Smith, Co-Chair, Graham F Smith Peace Foundation “Moss writes and performs songs that have a little more to them than the steady diet of regurgitated emotional claptrap” Ref: John Schumann; Composer, Performer & Writer “MOSS’s forte is in writing songs that attract our attention then resonate with us every time we hear them familiar, effective styles coupled with uniquely presented sentiments of consequence inspiring us to contemplate as we’re tapping our feet. This is how a band stands out in this industry.” Jac Dalton “. Modern music as art with a message has a place in our nation and Moss may be at the forefront of this movement” Ref: Peter Withy; Marketing consultant and co-founder of KWP! “.Projected images behind the band illustrate the subject matter of most of the songs and guide you through their journey. The music has an unapologetic hat tip to the 70’s. No bad thing and their sound and show are big enough for any arena.” Ref: Pete McLaughlin; Owner of Distillery Studios, Adelaide and veteran of the London music scene.

Lyrics
INTRODUCTION: VERSE 1: From Pondalowie to the Nullarbor Cactus waves I'd never seen before My EH was my home the surf my friend. VERSE 2: From the shed to the stage, the bands were raw The greatest rock I'd never heard before Chisel, Rudd, Daddy Cool you were my friends. REFRAIN 1: In the summer of seventy five We lived our lives in overdrive Campfires on the beach till morning light. GUITAR SOLO: VERSE 3: My tangled hair stung by the sun The panel vans lines up for fun Moana silver sands you were my friends VERSE 4 When mates of mine were mates I knew, Guitar and keys, played a gig or two..Countdown came alive, it would never end REFRAIN 2: In the summer of seventy five We lived our lives in overdrive Campfires on the beach till morning light.
