The band have also been building a reputation as an exciting and eccentric new live act. moa moa have sold out two headline shows at the legendary 100 Club, as well as more recently at Peckham Audio, played a number of inner-city festivals, and embarked on a UK-wide support tour. They are now speeding in on their metronomic motorway to present their new singles, ‘Drive’, and 'Information', anthems for the apathetic and the perfect psychedelic soundtrack to the comfortable tedium of life.
