Moses- Merchant’s Saloon, Oakland Ca 1/24/14 HD Master w/Rode Videomic Pro audio Punk Metal

I first saw Moses when they opened for Proudflesh at Eli’s Mile High Club. The vocalist was so high at that show that he was climbing an imaginary ladder into the sky- then do his vocal part without missing a beat. Never seen anyone perform that obviously high before. They blew me away so I went to them to buy a CD. He was so out of it, he just handed it to me. He couldn’t transact. Haha.
For this show, I had just dropped my wife and daughter off at the SFO airport to fly to China and I needed a distraction, so I hit some of this show on the way back. I only filmed them, unfortunately. What a lineup! (Hornss/Necrot/Moses).
I have a board tape of this somewhere. Maybe I can synch it someday.
I still have that demo CD- let me know if anyone wants as an audio post one day soon.
I wonder what happened to them…

Moses- Demo CD EP 2011? Oakland Crust Metal Punk

Today is supposed to be the local spotlight, but I have done a ton of local stuff lately so I am doing this instead. It’s a northern california band, so close enough.

I have been looking for this disc for years, and it finally showed its face while I was packing some stuff up in the studio. I love this band.

Back Story- I first saw Moses when they opened for Proudflesh at Eli’s Mile High Club in 2011. The vocalist was so high at that show that he was climbing an imaginary ladder into the sky- then do his vocal part without missing a beat. Never seen anyone perform that obviously high before, and I am pretty sure it wasn’t an act. They blew me away so I went to them to buy a CD. The vocalist was so out of it, he just handed it to me. He couldn’t transact. Haha. They wore their love of drgs on their sleeve- their old website (now gone) was called “mosesdoesdrgs dot com”. Lol, own it I suppose.

I think this might be their only physical release. I don’t see anything else anywhere and I searched quite a bit. I just discovered that they have 7 more songs on reverb nation that I need to download. A few are on this EP, but I don’t know if they are the same versions. And right on brand, this CD is kind of a mess. It is a silver (professionally pressed) CD, but there are tracks of nothing right in the middle of the EP, and one song has about 4 min of silence before the next track starts.

I wonder how the band is doing now. I hope they are still a band- GREAT stuff. No date on the CD but it must be from 2011 or earlier.

Audio Demo

Moses- Follow Demo 1996 Transfer from master demo tape Punk

I guess it is offensive demo weekend, purely by accident! This one is from Tony Philputt’s collection and I think this band was from the Detroit/midwest but the tape doesn’t have much to go on.

This is not the incredible bay area band named Moses. I was shocked and saddened to hear that Derek Popejoy, vocalist of that band, passed away from cancer. They were so great and entertaining.

Anyway, these guys play straight ahead punk with offensive lyrics.

Band members: Fermis, The Reverend Davis Hurley, Karl Arthur, and BILLISGOD.
