Formed in Melbourne late in 1980, The Moodists released their debut single "Where the Trees Walk Downhill" in 1981. After a couple of other releases, the band relocated to London, England and released a couple more singles, EP's and their only full length album, 1984's Thirsty's Calling.
Making music that one music journalist described as "unnerving, avant-garage rock noise," the band never really broke through and are a bit unsung heroes of such a sound today.
Tonight, let's listen to that first single. If it's something you dig, I also played a track from their 1983 release Engine Shudder in my latest podcast.
What are you listening to tonight?
