Moebius

There seem to be various artists called Moebius on last.fm.

The first and mostly tagged is the krautrock legend Dieter Moebius, famous for his work in the band Kluster/Cluster as well as his colabs with Brian Eno (e.g. Cluster & Brian Eno, Harmonia 76) and Michael Rother of Neu! (e.g. Harmonia). Dieter Moebius released some albums under that name (e.g. Tonspuren (1983) or Kram (2009). last.fm also lists his album Blotch (1999, released as "D. Moebius") here)

Moebius was also a Californian synth pop band founded in 1979 by Bryce Robbley, Doug Lynner and the young Steve Roach.

Other band is an Electro/Rock band from Ireland:
MOEBIUS
Beginning life as a three piece outfit in 2006, Irish Indie/Rock band, Moebius, have evolved into a quintet and have just finished recording their debut album,

IF IT AIN’T HARDIT AIN’T WORTH DOIN

To date the band have built their own recording studio, independently released 3 EP’s, 2 IRMA charted singles(BRING IT ON + BLACKSHEEP OF THE FAMILY) and have had two music videos produced. Hard work is not a problem.

The band consist of the enigmatic lead singer and front man Michael Joyce, guitarist Paul Farrell, bassist Dave Connelly, drummer Pawel Bebenca and keys/programmer Keith Gamble.

Like most bands today, the boys have wide and varied musical influences, ranging from The Who and The Stone Roses, to DJ Shadow and The Specials. Each band member has tried to contribute from their own personal influences to mould the Moebius sound, which we believe has International appeal.

Displaying that old punk ethos of D.I.Y., the band relocated to Poland this year and self financed the production of the album and have worked with Marcin Limek and Piotr Matysiak, two established and respected Polish music producers. Recorded in the Nintysixproject Studios, the band have crafted an album that has intensity, aggressiveness and attitude, while in equal measure lilts into more melodic, melancholic and upbeat moments.

Since returning from recording the album in Poland, Moebius have been rehearsing the new material from the album and have played some notable gigs, including the very first PKO BP Festival held at Wembley Arena in September 2008.

Other notable highlights for the band were appearances at both Castlepalooza and Cork Fringe Festivals in Ireland this summer, as well as all the top venues in Dublin City to their ever increasing loyal fan base.

UK, German and Dutch gigs are penciled in for mid '09. Try and catch them if you can, it will be well worth the effort! The new single and video BLACKSHEEP OF THE FAMILY is out NOW, check back for more info.
