'Flat Moon' UK Tour - Monkey Suit - Exeter

The Moon is Flat

Flat Moon; six humans from around the UK that due to a shared love for funky music and freaky people have unpredictability found themselves working together.

Crash-landing between funk and punk, Flat Moon is a bizarre 6-piece collective that creates high-energy groove-centred music. They are known for electrifying live shows that leave audiences in a state of genre-fluid delirium. There music explores themes of escapism through a neurodivergent lens, while prioritising a fun and chaotic experience. Pairing a powerful saxophone-guitar combo with an intricate rhythm section, delivering huge riffs, unforgettable hooks and incredible stage presence, everyone's invited to the party.

Meet the members: They have had people come and go since our 2019 origins but clinging on since the beginning are Ali (bass), Matty (rhythm guitar) and Jacob (lead guitar). They have since welcomed Scarlet (sax), Sam (drums) and George (percussion, synth). Everyone's quirks and talents have created a pleasing equilibrium keeping the band charging forwards. Scarlet designs the merch and posters, George can fix pretty much anything, Ali is there ever-precise treasurer, Sam has more drive and tenacity than his mistreated van, Matty is the King of Spill, and Jacob is sometimes on time.

Finally, name. Why Flat Moon? Originally no real meaning but a hazy joke about Flat Earthers. It then shifted to an ego-inflated stance on reality and perspective, challenging conformity-based popularity. Yet, since they have begun to build a life around this name, it’s started to mean more to them and the people hopping for the ride. The greatest thing about this project is feeling like you finally belong, and there aim as Flat Moon is to create belonging in the music, shows, and community.
