Artist description
"Moneyshot crosses Husker Du's guitars, The Replacements' early wit and a good schooling of heralded New York-style pop rockdom" (Splendid E-Zine, 1/10/00) Moneyshot is what you once saved two years of your allowance to buy. It's the tangle of corporate logos, neon tubing, and human refuse that will litter the meadows of New Jersey when the Apocalypse hits times square. Moneyshot is the shadowy figure grandpa used to shoot at from the front porch. It's the reason Corey Hart wore sunglasses at night and vowed never to surrender. |

Artist History
Moneyshot erupted last year, rising from the rubble to provide rock music born again, happily dispensing with the studio effects and wankery all too prevalent in the shambling, honking contraption popular music has become as the credits roll on the last millennium. |

Group Members
Moneyshot comprises four homo sapien rock stars from the planet earth. Our tissues have been carbon-dated to the late-middle-twentieth-century. Asa sings, plays rhythm guitar, and wonders privately if Walt Disney was really right about cryonics. Dave plays lead guitar, sings, and obsesses about "flying germs." Rob plays drums and drives a minivan powered by fuel-cells. Mike plays bass, sings, and worships at the altar of Gary Gygax. |
