It’s been seven months since The Big Moon released debut album ‘Love in The 4th Dimension’ and every show has seen the same fizzying, chemical excitement bubble over on stage. There’s been no lull, no motions to go through, and no moment where it's felt like The Big Moon aren’t having the most fun possible on stage. Yet still, tonight as they take to a very busy, very vocal, very buzzing Koko in London, Cee, Jules, Fern and Soph somehow find the time, space and energy to have more joy than ever before. That grin’s commanding. Of course the fun is felt before The Big Moon even take to the stage flanked by Robbie Williams’ Millenium’. First up it’s Get Inuit, playing “probably the last show Get Inuit’s ever going to play,” perhaps ahead of a name change, a cruel joke or the continuation that everything you hold dear will leave you and let you down, but even that doesn’t get in the way of their sparking quest for a good time. The fuzzy feel great of ‘Mean Heart’ comes into focus against a static background before the band twist, shock and shimmy their way through a set that crackles with silly unpredictability and undeniable pleasure. ‘All My Friends’ is slanted and edged, new song ‘So Soon’ is a riotous smile and ‘Electrify’ manages actual menace before it too swells and bursts with the ridiculous while the triple header of ‘Teriyaki’, ‘Barbiturates’ and ‘Pro Procrastinator’ are celebrations of the self, bringing all those present into the warmth. It feels wonderful. Launching straight into ‘Silent Movie Susie’, The Big Moon aren’t wasting any time. There’s none to spare, not when there’s a carnival to be had. Jules is already leaning into the crowd, teasing the most out of night and from the front to the back, every song is a reason to cheer, a piece of the band to hold dear. ‘Love In The 4th Dimension’ and ‘Zeds’ let things get tender, confidently strutting about and showing off their heart as ‘Happy New Year’ explodes with rock star flourish and a hands-on-the-heads moment for Jules as she looks around, trying to work out if tonight is even real. “I can’t believe how many of you there are,” she laughs. The disbelief in neon letters. The excitement solid and something to build around. The band take little moments for themselves, huddling together around Fern at the end of ‘The Road’ or sharing a wink, grin or giggle midsong, knowing that they’ll want this to last forever. The first song the band ever wrote ‘Eureka Moment’ is thrashed about, torn apart and reassembled. They also can’t stop themselves hurtling forward. A cover of ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ and their own ‘Something Beautiful’ see the band dial up the rose tints while a robust, soaring finale that starts with ‘Cupid’ and goes via a fierce ‘Formidable, and bonkers ‘Bonfire’ before settling at the shiny, teeth-baring ‘Sucker’ does away with the glasses and falls completely head over heels. Moments to get lost in, moments that are eternal, The Big Moon are a force of sheer wonder, magnetic charm and absolute delight. Their shows are the perfect attack against a world gradually dimming and tonight, focal, united, glittering, is a powerful reminder of just how important standing together can feel.
We all know The Big Moon are something pretty special. Debut album 'Love In The 4th Dimension' confirmed that, showing the world a band stopping at nothing in their quest to create music to soundtrack your fondest moments. Performing at Reading Festival, that's exactly what they treat their audience
The Big Moon have dropped a new video for their latest single ‘Pull The Other One’.
Jules has a chat about the band's debut album being up for the Mercury Prize 2017.
There's more chaos, more control and more joy.
It's what we're all thinking, but someone has to say it.
They're playing 'all over the shop' this September and October.
The Big Moon are a gang, pure and simple. Their debut album ‘Love In The 4th Dimension’ is a glimpse into their tightly knit world of one another, laced with the sort of confidence that comes from complete ease in your surroundings and the belief that only best friends inspire. In front of a very sold out Village Underground, Jules, Celia, Fern and Soph make everyone part of it. There’s a gravity to their performance (and the space references stop here). Despite the record being out for a brief moment, every track is taken to the edge of its tether and the crowd follows. From the all-out-celebration of ‘Silent Movie Susie’, all jousting guitars and harmony escape, through the shimmering bite of ‘Pull The Other One’ and out to the marching declaration of ‘Sucker’, The Big Moon take the recorded energy and run with it. It’s hyperactive, knee-jerk and every movement chases their unquenchable desire for a good time. “We’ve got so much energy, we’ve been fizzing all day,” explains Cee. “It feels like everyone’s birthday.” However, it’s never rushed. The Big Moon are brilliant when they’re moving at a hundred miles an hour, but they’re also superb when they pause, teetering on the edge and toying with tension. The likes of ‘Zeds’ sways with a daydream escape while ‘The End’ is calm, collected but grinning before exploding in a whirling mess of deliberately jagged noise. It’s ‘Bonfire’ that really showcases just how far The Big Moon can push it live though. Bonkers and unhinged, the band still find a beauty in the chaos and despite the ever-shifting shapes they pull, they’re united in the eye of the storm. But the most impressive part of The Big Moon, is how inviting it all is. At no point is tonight a spectator sport. It would easy for the band to turn inwards, towards the safety of one another, as they play their Biggest Ever Headline Show but the more faces before them, the more friends they want to make. They’re a gang but you’re a part of it.
