Moist (folk rock band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the 1990s band from Brighton. For other uses of the name Moist, see Moist (disambiguation).

Moist was, in 1993 and 1994, a band based in Brighton, England, which performed in a loosely folk-rock style.

This band was somewhat lower-profile than its Canadian namesake and upon learning of the name clash, arranged to change its name; however, the Brighton band disbanded soon afterwards, for unconnected reasons, and was never well-known by any other name.

One eponymous cassette with 7 songs is known to have been produced, including original compositions "Crave" and "Brighton Song", and a cover version of "It's All Mine", originally by World Party. During their career they graduated from a first gig in a small basement wine bar in Hove, to gigs in Brighton's popular "Concorde" venue.

Some members of the band went on to be involved with another Brighton-based band, Flannel.
