    Moonalice is a Native American tribe that dates back to the beginning of time. In later times, the tribe evolved into two major clans, one agricultural, the other nomadic. The nomadic Moonalice clans were known as bands. They wandered the continent, surviving on their wits and music. Their specialty was low tones. From time to time, the Moonalice hippies and bands would gather in pow wows that were known as gigs. More Woodstock than livestock, Moonalice gigs were quintessentially American, combining the vibes of New York, San Francisco and all points in between. Moonalice legend speaks of a mysterious 7th player – a bass player, naturally – who possessed prodigious talent. It is said by those who say such things, that the day will come when all members of the tribe will play bass together. And on that day the notion of low will be taken to new depths. Or possibly the notion of depth taken to new lows. As with all things, it’s really a matter of perspective.

    Almost a year in the making, Ben Joseph’s big-budget sophomore release Shoot the Piano Player is at the forefront of Progressive Pop - edgy, yet melodic, sickeningly catchy, yet experimental at times. From piano breaks reminiscent of Yann Tiersen to Chicago-style horn riffs to the self-described “Cracker-Salsa,” this album has a quick pace that keeps the listener guessing and a definitive arc that makes for a great cover-to-cover listen.
