Об группе

Moon Hop was founded in September 96 in Bordeaux.
Its influences were bands as «Kortatu», «The Specials», «Madness», «Prince Buster», «Byron Lee and the Dragonnaires», as well as great standards by Derrick Morgan from which the name of the band was taken.
As early as the middle of 1998, Moon Hop began a strong change of direction : some founding members left the band, others replaced them. The band matured and gradually found its own identity as far as the sound and stage performances are concerned.
Moon Hop's music is a « sixties inspired » ska played in its own style : a modern sound , a faster tempo than original ska , mixed with many other musics played during that period (Surf, Soul, Mambo, Rythm n’Blues, Rocksteady, Boogaloo and Garage).
After some singles were produced on compilations in France, Moon Hop decided to shift gear as they released their first real album Rockets to new highs. It took 11 days for the recording at the « studio du Hurlement » where some of the best local bands (Rageous Gratoons, ASPO, Hurlements d'Léo) have made some of their best records. The operation was led by Thomas Bienvenu who recorded 10 tunes and 3 musical pauses. It’s to be noticed that 2 songs of the record were remixed by « Yves La Fouine » (sound engineer of one of the best french Dub Bands : the Improvisators Dub) with the help of Mr Chinoi (the man who made the sound of the world famous Mano Negra). What's more, Eddy Da Costa (A.S.P.O, Rageous Gratoons) gave his own version of a Moon Hop song.
After two years touring all over France and Europe, Moon Hop came up with its second album “Welcome back to the Moon”. The 15 tracks were recorded and mixed by Eddy Da Costa and mastered at Globe Audio Studio (Bordeaux). The album was produced by the famous label Patate Records (Jim Murple Memorial, Alton Ellis, ASPO...).
The third album You Gotta Pay recorded at Nomad Sound will be released at the end of this year 2011. The trip goes on...Состав:
