“Lunar Mistake is what happens when a bunch of prog weirdos from Oakland, California go a little stir-crazy after the world puts everything on pause. Born of necessity, convened in distance, reflecting upon the past but unable to stop poking at the edges.
What started as a way to stave off boredom during the pandemic evolved into an original project that listeners describe as “quirky,” “angular,” “refreshing” and “radical” with reference points from Devo to Rush, Oingo Boingo to Thinking Plague.
“Early in the pandemic, when we were all basically losing our minds, David (Shamrock) suggested getting together in our back yard to play covers,” vocalist Jackie Wheeler explained. “We had a blast revisiting prog, post-punk and new wave tunes from the 70s and 80s. Eventually, we decided to write original songs that blend those styles to create music that’s got great energy but is also interesting and holds up to repeated listening. Matt (Lebofsky) brought jazz/prog fusion elements to the mix, and the result is quirky, eclectic mayhem that’s a hell of a lot of fun.”
Lunar Mistake features long-time members of the Bay Area music scene, including Matt Lebofsky (Secret Chiefs 3, miRthkon, MoeTar) on keyboards, Steve Lew (New Zombies, Eskimo, Ebola Soup) on bass, David Shamrock (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Free Salamander Exhibit, Slombis) on drums, Drew Wheeler (Free Salamander Exhibit, Young Has Beens) on guitar, and Jackie Wheeler on vocals and percussion.”
