Stadium worthy performance by Moon Walker at Brick & Mortar

June 27, 2023

Alt rocker Moon Walker was formed by Harry Springer during the height of Covid-19 and what a gift it has been. They recently made a stop on the summer tour in San Francisco at the Brick & Mortar. The tour brought a fiercely powerful set by Annabel Lee that had the crowd all warmed up. Moon Walker hit the stage and the performance was spot on and captivating. Springer is an intensely talented guitarist as well as an impressive frontman who invigorates the audience. The band featured thundering drums by Sean McCarthy and slapping bass by Alicia Vigil (the first time we saw her perform was with She Demons and she has been one of our favorite bassists ever since). The three brought together a powerful sound that was stadium worthy and you knew that catching them in such an intimate environment such as the Brick & Mortar was going to be a core music memory as they are heading up the top!

The crowd were ready and amped up for the show as Loveless took the stage to eruptions of cheer and screams and they kicked it off with Haunting Me. The party started and didn’t stop until the band left the stage. Being the last night of tour, the crew had some fun with the band as they had given playful and different set lists to each member. I tell you, I would have loved to see them play Bodies by Drowning Pool. They would have killed it. The crowd went wild when they played their 2020 debut single Better.
