Moonalice's Blink of An Eye: Listen, and Pay It Forward

I'm finding it astounding - the amount of information I'm consuming, and discovering, on Facebook and Twitter. Consider me hooked.

One such discovery was Roger McNamee's new band, Moonalice. One of my Facebook friends had joined the group Moonalice fans for whirled peas, so of course I was intrigued. Come to find out, it was band made up of quite a few members of the Flying Other Brothers.

About Moonalice? Well, here's the historical bit:

According to legend, the Moonalice tribe is descended from Piltdown Woman, or possibly from a couple of naked, snake charmed gardeners who liked to hang around with friendly dinosaurs. Core to the Moonalice culture is the Coming of the Seventh – Yggdrassil – a mythical player of low tones who emerges periodically from the sea, where he cavorts with a school of thermally enhanced tuna.

Now, about the band:

Moonalice is a far flung tribe of musicians who all want to play bass. New music with a 60s vibe. Featuring G.E. Smith (Saturday Night Live, Hall & Oates), Pete Sears (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Starship), Barry Sless (Phil & Friends, David Nelson Band), Jim Sanchez (Dr. John, Roy Rogers), Ann McNamee (Flying Other Bros.), and Roger McNamee (Flying Other Bros.) . . . and sometimes Jack Casady (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane).

They're currently in studio, working on an album. Its first single, Blink of An Eye, is free to download, and share. It's a really nice track, featuring Alice Moon Moonalice (aka Ann McNamee) on lead vocals. Take a listen, and if you like it, pay it forward to your friends. I certainly have, and will continue to do so.

Bonus:  the band's next gig is June 2nd @ 4pm. L: San Geronimo Community Center, San Geronimo, CA Cause: Benefit for Wavy Gravy. After that, catch them in San Francisco's Union Square on June 26th.

Roger & the band,

Saw your live performance from Fisherman's Wharf this afternoon. The band sounded great! I was not privy to the musical talents of Roger, but was a buyer and reader of your book a couple of years ago, "The New Normal."

Based on your musical performance today, I've gotta say, "quit your day job!"

Regards,
Larry g
PS- I still really enjoyed your book...lg
