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: The land falls silent: Australian farmers battle life without rain. It was the drought stricken summer of 2018. Australia. The farmers were on their knees. It was the moment the Federal Government had to seize, but in Canberra the Federal Government was too occupied with leadership challenges, white-anting and deliberately eroding their internal foundation. They were blinded by their treachery to the heart wrenching, devastating scenes of Australian farmers, who were looking toward their elected leaders for help. But all they saw were dirty games.
Lyrics
INTRO: VERSE 1: You lied you belied you denied all the things that went wrong Spin and deceive you refused to believe all the bad things you’ve done CHORUS 1: The farmers were on their knees, The moment you had to seize You just played your dirty game VERSE 2: You lied you belied you denied all the things that went wrong Spin and deceive you refused to believe all the bad things you’ve done CHORUS 2: The kids are sick, they’re standing at the gate You turned away but then you help your mate You just played your dirty game, Politics and Money and Fame BRIDGE: Blinded by your treachery Power and money in your sights You couldn’t see all the misery Or the people who can’t sleep tonight SOLO: VERSE 3: You lied you belied you denied all the things that went wrong Spin and deceive you refused to believe all the bad things you’ve done CHORUS 3: The farmers were on their knees, The moment you had to seize You just played your dirty game, Politics and Money and Fame OUTRO: You lied you belied you denied all the things that went wrong Spin and deceive you refused to believe all the bad things you’ve done
