Today I learned of the existence of Moonboot, a local Madison band. The members are Britt Dichraff, Jeff Kunkle, Jamie McCloskey, and Shad Williams. I vaguely knew Britt and Shad back in the 90s as they were friends with a friend/roommate of mine. If memory serves, Britt, Shad, and Jamie made up Mr. Shad's Creed in the early 90s.
Moonboot is Moog synthesizer led so it's a wholly different sound from Mr. Shad's Creed. I am used to seeing Shad with a guitar strapped on and not standing in front of a keyboard rack. Moonboot were featured recently on the local news.
After Jamie left Mr. Shad's Cred, Alex Fortney took over bass duties, and the band was christened Tongue. I found the Tongue demos I was given and, in the search, also stumbled on a Tar Babies show and a recording of Texas Horse Crippler live in the WORT studios. I think Shad formed Texas Horse Crippler after Tongue disbanded followed by Brickshithouse. I think. Regardless, I will have to post some tunes on Youtube.
