ARCANE MOON
Following Arcane Moon's sell out debut gig at Hotbox in July 2024, the guys are back for another night of quality live music entertainment on April 12th, 2025. Arcane Moon are a dynamic originals rock band from North Essex. Josh and Matt met through a prior band and started writing together in May 2023. With different but complimentary musical backgrounds, the guys immediately formed a strong creative collaboration. Influenced by bands like Radiohead, Chilli Peppers and The Police, Arcane Moon combines soulful melodies with a driving groove. Joe joined in January 2024 and Scott in March 2024. Their debut EP 'Ellipsis' will be released in the Autumn of 2024. .

Alt-rock band that have carved their own niche, self-releasing a collection of idiosyncratic records, and never taking themselves too seriously. Their first effort, 2009's EP The Crayon Masterpiece, showcased an early taste for jaunty guitar pop, which was elaborated upon with the release of their first studio LP, Captatio Benevolentiae in 2012, gaining a little attention from its catchy singles Brickwall and Betweenager. With the 2024 release of the Heartbeaten EP, the lineup expanded to keys, flute, backing singers and string quartet, arranged by Nick Squires (London Philharmonic Orchestra, Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud) which gained positive reviews in magazines such as CLASH, VENTS and BACKSEAT MAFIA and the selected Single of the Week by both City Sound and Radio Wigwam
