ARTFUL ROCKER
The music of electric guitarist and singer-songwriter Moan Red is a combination of blues, rock, punk, reggae, funk and alternative. Feedback from Moan Red's fans 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 first short film, Psycho Norman's 1st Cousin Once Removed, a mockumentary tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. For his second short, the guitarist took on the lead role of an irrepressible space captain, in sci-fi horror Captain Hughes Vs. Stronghold of the Dead.
SPACE HURRICANE
Known in London and Los Angeles, 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 will be making their festival debut at Norwich's socially conscious multi-venue Wild Paths '25. ​​
"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."​
