DEAD MOON war ein von 1987 bis 2006 aktives Lo-Fi-Garage/Rock-’n’-Roll-Trio aus Portland, Oregon. Die Band erlangte mythen- und legendenumwobenen Kultstatus.
Die Biographie von Sänger Fred Cole ist eine in der Teen-Beat-Ära der Sixties beginnende Achterbahnfahrt aus zahllosen Bands und Musikstilen, nicht zu bremsendem Tatendrang und einer großen Liebe. DEAD MOON kultivierten ihre Version des DIY-Ethos und vermieden es stets, in die Fallen der konventionellen Musikindustrie zu tappen. Sie tourten um die ganze Welt, spielten in Liveclubs zwischen Oregon, Europa und Neuseeland, produzierten ihre Platten selbst und führten ihr eigenes Musikgeschäft und gleichnamiges Label TOMBSTONE MUSIC. Ihre Geschichte ist einzigartig in den Ruhmeshallen der Rockmusik – eine Band, die niemals ihre Ideale verriet, niemals aufgab und ein künstlerisches und gemeinschaftliches Erbe hinterließ, das bis heute seinesgleichen sucht.
Die rasch ausverkauften ersten beiden Auflagen dieser 2018 in den USA erschienenen Dokumentation (unter dem Titel »DEAD MOON – The Book«) werden inzwischen zu hohen Preisen gehandelt – der Ventil Verlag macht die reine Printausgabe nun auch als Softcover für das europäische Publikum zugänglich. Die englischsprachige opulente Dokumentation zeichnet die Geschichte der Band aus Portland, Oregon in Wort und Bild nach.

Paperback. Etat : New. Dead Moon were a lo-fi Garage/RocknRoll band from Portland, Oregon, active for almost 20 years between 1987 and 2006, during which time the band gained a mythic and legendary iconic status. 'Off the Grid' is a 'dizzying oral history about this most stubborn, idealistic and arguably wildest band in the world - a saga about love itself and the love of rock and roll, about DIY and about an improbable career. The biography of singer and guitarist Fred Cole (formerly of The Weeds, Lollipop Shoppe and The Rats before Dead Moon) is like a rollercoaster ride through countless bands and musical styles beginning in the Teenbeat era of the 60s driven by an invisible force and one big love. Dead Moon cultivated their DIY code built around Fred's superstitions and avoidance of conventional music industry pitfalls. They toured around the world, played in live clubs between Oregon, Europe and New Zealand. They cut their own records and ran their own music store and label - Tombstone Music.Their story is completely unique in the pantheon of rock music: a group who never sold out, never gave in and built a legacy of art and community in a sustainable way almost unheard of. The book is a tribute to their unique aesthetic, unbelievable twisted path of a story and role as pioneers of the Portland music scene. Off The Grid' is a declaration of love to Dead Moon, to music in general and to rocknroll in particular. The first two sold out US-editions of this book - first published in 2018 (Dead Moon - The Book, incl. 2 LPs) - meanwhile gained the status of collector items selling at an eye watering high price.
