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.

Story behind the song
ABOUT THE SONG: MOSS Keyboard, guitarist and vocalist Ian (NED) Kelly recalls a time in his younger years when he travelled through the French Riviera. It’s a region many say dreams are made of and NED has never forgotten his time there. This song is a stark departure from our existing playlist but it is reflective of our collective experiences over time that demanded versatility. MOSS Drummer Dave Anthony loves this song as it gives him opportunity to revisit his Latin genre roots. All in all, we have had a bucket load of fun writing this song, recording it and making the film clip. Our sincere hope is that you are a music lover of this genre and add it to your collection to play when you next visit the French Riviera or for the interim simply want to dream about being there.
Lyrics
INTRO: VERSE 1: I need a Mediterranean Holiday, on the Cote D’azur Walkin’ promenades and Boulevards and takin in the view Take some days in San Tropez, I could buy a yatch Write the cheque, sit on the deck and look at what Brigits got Holiday Holiday VERSE 2: I wanna go to Monaco, and maybe I could win Take a chance, perhaps romance, I gotta start to begin Princess Grace, a beautiful face, a fairy tale came true Elegance, sophistication, and a hint of blue Holiday Holiday CHORUS 1: I gotta go, take it slow, gotta to get away Spend some time, out of my mind Live with just for today Live with just for today Live with just for today SOLO: REFRAIN: Holiday Holiday Holiday Holiday CHORUS 2: I can’t stay, I’m goin’ away, please don’t wait for me I need to leave, so I can believe, Que sera ces’t la vie Que sera ces’t la vie Que sera ces’t la vie
