The Man on the Moon open mic is really a very special event of spontaneous live music. It takes place on the occurs the last Tuesday of every month. Steph Brown, the open mic organiser, says It belongs to all those who attend it. It attracts a large, diverse, talented group of musicians and listeners.

Steph explains: If you're a musician or a music lover do come along. Everybody is very friendly and welcoming. The evening is always colourful and exciting. She says: "I do not book slots in advance as I feel this would defeat the point of an open mic night. It is its spontaneity  and randomness that make it special. Please just turn up at 7.45-8.30 if you wish to play as slots cannot be guaranteed after that time"

The Hertford band have played a live session on Steve LeMaq's Radio One show and recently won the NME Red Stripe Music Award competition, which got them a place at London’s Lovebox festival on 22 July, where they will appear alongside The Blood Arm, The Maccabees, The Pigeon Detectives and Mumm-ra on the Barfly stage.

Then, this week (16 July 2007) they released their debut single 'Get In Line'.

Described as being "Like ... The Kooks without the stage school", they seem to be going from strength to strength. And to add to that - they are jolly nice chaps!

A nitro fuelled party band with a story to tell and big stage presence. Expect something special from this choppy pop indie act.
