Gig Information

In 1992 Dead Moon made a commitment to come to NZ in August / September of that year , turning down a subsequent offer to open for Nirvana.

Toody Cole says ...
One of Fred's key rules was--never cancel a gig you committed to for a better one. Basic work ethic but important. Bottom line, we never regretting coming to NZ instead of doing the Nirvana show in the US, even though we never did get that chance again. That 1st NZ tour is still the one I remember as the most fun, sow your wild oats tour we ever did!

Four local acts with strong connections to Dead Moon will play Dead Moon / Fred Cole songs on Friday 9th September at UFO on Veronica St opposite the RSA in New Lynn. The Situations - Papakura's finest opened for Dead Moon in 2006 and later in early 2008 the Pierced Arrows: Bloodbags - Andrew Tolley was there for the first and subsequent tours (and he looks the same as he did back then!) , and Rapley and Sam are GIANTs when it comes to their love for all things Dead Moon: Jet Generations - Jimmy Christmas remembers vividly seeing Dead Moon perform Poor Born on their 1996 visit - and then in 1999 whilst in the the D4 ,opened the shows on the Dead Moon tour of that year; The Tegel Chicken in 1992 took leave from his regular gig at MacDonalds (where he still is today!) to tour manage and do F.O.H sound for the tour. When the tour reached Invercargill , Tegel recorded the whole show and it wasn't until 2016 when it was rediscovered. Jump to 2022 and the Invercargill show will be released on a double live LP ... The NZ edition on Electric Alchemy EA08 comes boxed with loads of goodies and in a run of 54 Boxes and subsequently 40 regular Lps. Mississippi records in Portland who take care of the stewardship of Dead Moon and Fred Cole recordings in the modern age will release for the Rest of The World with copies coming to NZ later in year. Flying Out distributes Mississippi in NZ.
