Is this an old person thing? Do people actually do this?

The person who introduced me to Dead Moon said something like "they inspired a lot of great bands but few people know/like them". And it's terribly true, isn't it?

I'm lying in bed and I'm glad I made it this morning

I remember reading somewhere that Kurt Cobain was a fan, so much so he invited them to open for Nirvana in 1992. Dead Moon was touring New Zealand at the time and didn't want to cancel a gig for a better gig.

Hahaha great story! I love how their lack of success seems like a self inflicted mediocrity plague. I really love "bad" music.

Kurt Cobain also helped bring attention to Daniel Johnston by wearing his shirt on stage at his big mtv appearance. Another great "bad" artist I love.
