"Fred Cole has been around since he was the lead singer for the Lollipop Shoppe when he was 16 years old in 1966. Him and his wife Trudy formed the Rats in the mid 70's, some great well written punk music. I have a couple of the records. Then they did some country punk before it became popular. I have seen Fred and Trudy live a few times and they are great. Dead Moon has put out a bunch of stuff since the 70's, try to find the out of print stuff. have fun,EVL.. PS. The Rats and Dead Moon had a great impact in the NW with Punk and Country Punks."
Hard Wired gives a Glimpse of Live Dead Moon

"This album is remarkable for really capturing a lot of what makes Dead Moon the best live show ever. Toodie's remarks about the WC, the band thanking the opening band - these are so indicative of Dead Moon. Song selection is excellent, the set list captures most everything from a standard Dead Moon Show. The mix works too, a bit scratchy at times, but its all there. The enhanced CD is fun, but I really want a full length concert-documentary on this band. Truly an inspiring group, and worthy of five stars. ..."
