ARTFUL ROCKER
The music of electric guitarist and singer-songwriter Moan Red is a combination of blues, rock, punk, reggae, funk and alternative music that took to flight after he heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time - an occasion that inspired him to pick up the guitar. Feedback from fans about Moan Red is often as imaginative as the performances that inspire it:
​​​
"As if Jimmy Page played at CBGBs in the 70s"
STORYTELLER
​​
In 2019 Moan Red wrote, directed and scored his his first short film, Psycho Norman's 1st Cousin Once Removed, a mockumentary tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The storyteller took the lead role in his second short, sci-fi horror Captain Hughes Vs. Stronghold of the Dead, which picked-up Semi-Finalist at the 2025 Big Fridge International Film Festival.
SPACE HURRICANE
A London based artist with Los Angeles ties, Moan Red is a founding member of LA rock band Space Hurricane, whose live track record includes performances at Hollywood hot spots The Dresden, The Roxy and The Whisky a Go Go. ​​
ALE THIEVES
2024 saw the launch of alternative duo Ale Thieves, a collaboration between Moan Red and singer-songwriter Nyree Williams. Ale Thieves are set to perform at socially-conscious Norwich music festival Wild Paths 2025. ​​
"A sci-fi short conceptually so interesting! Visually distinctive with the sharp contrasts and distortion, as well as immersive editing to reflect the mental state of Captain Hughes. A great way of recounting his story through the structure, the song and a performance that captures his spiralling alongside sci-fi horror conventions."​
