The Hot Moonbeams, in their human and most primitive form, are a rock n’ roll outfit consisting of Dan Edwards, David Kandal, and Nick and Tim Ubels. Based in Langley, these four entities began playing music together around the twentieth anniversary of their arrival on Earth, and consequent manifestation of the aforementioned individuals. Dan, David and Nick wear each other’s guitars, while Tim seems pretty dead set on playing drums. The Beams, as they once might have been lovingly referred to as, play a number of tunes, ranging from Rock/Pop to Pop/Rock, and even the tempestuous mistress known as Alternative Rock.
As The HMB’s (which would look great on a T-shirt) begin to get out more in order to study the complex nature of Earth culture, they have found themselves starting to partake more and more in that time honored humanoid tradition known as ‘The Concert.’ Keep an eye to the sky to see where The Hot Moonbeams will land next!
In June 2010, The Hot Moonbeams released their debut studio EP, an 8-song collection entitled The Hot Moonbeams Break Even that reached #8 on CJSF in Calgary and #15 on CIVL in Abbotsford.
In November, The Hot Moonbeams were semifinalists in CITR's annual Shindig! battle of the bands competition at the Railway Club. They also released the digital single "Mont Royal".
The band is currently making plans for their first full-length and a smattering of concert appearances this summer.
