The Moonrocks, a highly talented extended musical family, fell to Earth in the West of Scotland in 1979.

At that time, Happy Moonrock, Lefty Moonrock and Johnny Moonrock, decided to indulge their love of classic rock and soul music.

​

With pedigrees very much steeped in the rock and blues of the 60s and 70s, the guys are anxious to dedicate themselves to those traditions.

​

“Bands who do some covers like us tend to be in two distinct types”, says Ricky, “Either you are a tribute band or you play chart stuff”. “We wanted to have a bit more flexibility than the tribute bands, and avoid doing crappy ‘New Pop’ altogether”.

​

Lead guitarist Johnny Moonrock, expands further; “Although the main driving force of what we offer is in the great traditions of the sixties and seventies, we didn’t want to be so narrow as to exclude the great music from before or after that time. We are great admirers of Buddy Holly, Eddy Cochran and Roy Orbison; and newer acts like the Foo Fighters, REM, Radiohead and the Kings of Leon”.

​

The result is The Moonrocks, a band dedicated to, but not exclusively the servant of classic rock and soul.

​

Setlists are planned to have maximum impact on the audience, event and venue types. The band have a huge sound which belies their three-piece status, and use state of the art music technology allied to prodigious musical talents to deliver a studio-quality sound at live shows.
