Single.. "Christmas On The Moon" from The Christmas Jug Band...Billionaires in Space? An ever-warming planet? Holidays approaching too fast? Where's this all headed?
"Christmas On The Moon!" - explores the rocket-fueled elitist escapism mindset... The Futurism of humanity
explored by the organic, rural, ancientistic sounds of the crude Americana Roots explorers, the Christmas Jug Band. -This new single
delves into that contrast with robotish Devo-like single-note-chord roots rock and a very human, gospel-influenced verse feel that
climaxes with a solo section of a Moog Theremin synth sandwiched between 2 very rich acoustic violin and piano passages. Perhaps
it's all a metaphor for the likely mixed emotions of actually leaving Terra Firma. Features Austin deLone, Tim Eschliman, Paul Rogers,
Duke Dagreez Dewey, Snakebite Jacobs, Candy Girard, Willy Jordan and Isaac Carter.

a true reflection of a live performance.... unique in the band's catalog of releases, inspired by
BUDDY HOLLY and THE CLASH bringing
