They played groovy, heartland rock songs complete with guitar solos; alt-country numbers that featured slide guitars; atmospheric, slow spacey songs; noisy kraut songs and some wavy psych stuff. After one of their new songs, which was acoustic and cosmic in equal parts, a fan screamed, Yeehaw!

But HMR wanted to do a bit more for their fans and soon after announced an intimate, secret show at Toronto’s Great Hall.

Half Moon Run; have always demonstrated their strengths as a live act. Onstage at The Triffid the group could do little to displace the fact. Returning to Australia for the first time since 2014, the quartet’s welcoming crowd teemed with excitement as the Canadian outfit took the stage.
