Moin (UK)

  • The Vanguard 42 King Street Newtown, NSW, 2042 Australia (map)

Omniversal Hum presents the highly anticipated debut Australian performance from the enigmatic London based band Moin.

Moin are a three-piece band featuring Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews of the electronic outfit Raime, alongside visionary percussionist Valentina Magaletti. Their music recontextualizes a range of guitar-based genres—grunge, shoegaze, and post-rock—through an enigmatic reimagining of the traditional band dynamic. Employing both conventional and unique compositional techniques, their sound is marked by a visceral immediacy that comes to life in full force during their live performances.

Moin walk the line between the reassuringly familiar and the unsettlingly inquisitive.

Support comes from local sound adventurists Worlds Only. Named after Megan Alice Clune’s short-lived yet seminal zine World’s Only that explored the intersection of classical music, experimental subgenres, and the indie ethos, Worlds Only is Alister Hill (guitar), Darren Lesaguis (spoken word), Jenny Trinh AKA Wytchings (electronics/vocals), Justin Tam AKA Tzekin (saxophone), Reginald Harris (bass) and Thomas William Smith AKA T. Morimoto (electronics). 

The sextet explores intertwining instrumentation, internal worlds, and the distortion of time, a collaborative practice focused on site-specific musical works that only exists in the liminal space that happens with live improvisation.
