Full Circle

Half Moon Run

Indica

WE SAY

Darlings of the Canadian music scene, Half Moon Run are the third artistes to play our showcase at The Great Escape. We thought they were by far and wide the best band we saw at M for Montreal, and they've picked up a trail of online press gigging ferociously over the last six months, including shows at SXSW and Canadian Music Week. This, their first trip to the UK is part of a five week tour covering eight countries, including shows at Inrocks Indic Club and Festival des Trois Elephants in France. There's no doubt Half Moon Run have an appeal that could translate to fans in the UK thanks in the main to some killer songs including the unbelievably good Full CircleVideo.

1.00pm - Emma Louise
1.50pm - Giovanna
