Artist History Hi. I'm Jonathan from the Moonboots and I'd like to share with you some data from my private collection that originally helped me and the band come up with our name. Hang on, you're in for the ride of your life. So, like I was saying, you're in for the ride of your life. We are not the first musical group to use the Moonboots moniker. We knew that. We knew that we might end up competing with hundreds (maybe thousands) of bands called "Moonboots", each of these bands driven by the same inner lust for fame and U.S. currency. Take the Moonboots of Germany: http://www.move.to/moonboots They knew how to get the girls. And they knew how to get some cocktails. "Kixx feat!" they'd say. And it made us happy. But now it makes us sing. Literally. Whereas the Moonboots were always giving greetz, we wanted to give greetz. But we couldn't play hip hop music. Or whatever the new cool word is. We became sad. Dustin commit suicide. It's true. Monica answers all of his e-mail now and the stand in for Dustin is really a little shipwrecked Navy veteran. His real name is Captain Eli Graveltongue. We promised him refuge from the cavalry and he promised to do a bunch of dumb stuff (wearing bells on his head and stuff). He's really a good listener, though. And he has a certain sympathy that one can only gain at sea. Our hopes came back to us, though, upon realization of this man: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/~arz-pegasus/moonboots/ And the jestyr (http://www.geocities.com/~jestyr/str.html), who writes: "I have nailpolish that goes nicely with my moonboots. It's homemade, too - only the best for me! It's clear nailpolish with glitter tipped in it. But not just any glitter - silver glitter. And not just any silver glitter, but hologrammatic silver glitter! I'm so lucky - moonboots and hologrammatic silver glitter nailpolish. Life is good. I really don't know why I scare people. Compared to some of my friends, I'm so normal it hurts. But people find me 'scary' - just because I go to the Hellfire Club (well, when I can afford it), think 'Master and Servant' and 'Whip Me Teenage Babe' are great songs, have a Purity Test Score in the low 30s, and wear silver moonboots with silver hologrammatic glitter nailpolish. Some people have no imagination." We definitely shared a connection with this freaky (obviously a genious) girl who tripped us out, yet kept us in: "The thing about me is: I change. All the time. I go from semi-gothic to raverbeing depending on what the weather's like. Don't ever expect me to stay the same two days running. One of my friends thinks I'm a Malkavian. The Malkavian swears I'm a Tremere, but that was just when I was being mean to him. One school of thought holds that I'm a Son of Aether. Yeah, gender doesn't matter to these guys, they freak everyone out equally. Some days I'm a Discordian. Then you lesser mortals can call me Pope Jestyr of the Vorpal Bunny Cabal. I also answer to Hey You. Hey, I had better luck than one of my friends - the Cabal that he founded technically doesn't exist. He failed his own initiation, so it wouldn't accept him as a member. Picky things, these cabals. As he says, 'Now, thanks to my own foolish mistake, noone can join.'" Well, none of us wanted to be a cabal. We had strong feelings about that. We talked about it for long hours (remember, all of us were about five-years-old at this point in the story, so we had a lot of time to work out the band). We swore that we would never be able to say, "Now, thanks to my own foolish mistake, noone can join." But we look back now and just laugh. Ha. We say that all the time NOW. For example, when some one fails their own initiation. So we went into therapy: http://www.stanford.edu/~vstewart/submissions/contrib00084.html Oh, crap. People are looking over my shoulder. I've got to go back to work.
