The Moon Is No More is a concept, a theory, a state of mind, and a band. It's the creative convergence of two brothers, one with a penchant for words, the other for music. It's the intentionally overambitious setting to music of Jeremy's humorously sad novella, "Sans Hands."
In 1995, older brother Joshua leaves his place of birth in Boston for the heat of the Arizona desert. The outlet of his frustration over god-forsaken mall culture and failed relationships becomes a signature brand of acoustic folk-pop.
Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, younger brother Jeremy is basking in the glow of a computer monitor as another night becomes another day, honing what is to become his trademark writing style of no holds barred honesty in the form of short stories intended for no one but himself.
Flash forward, Joshua returns after five years as Jeremy begins transforming his literature into the form of a twisted indie-rock-opera, his first output intended for public consumption. The concept of TMINM is all his. Prior to TMINM he wrote and sang "Come and Gone" with Joshua in 1999 (to be included on TMINM's debut album). His lyrical adaptation reflects a camaraderie with the likes of Pedro the Lion and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Jeremy dropped a ream of handwritten stream of consciousness wordplays on Joshua's lap, commissioning him to breath life into them in musical directions both familiar and new. His musical experience begins as a confessionalist folk-pop singer-songwriter, followed by techno-pop (Sweet Machines) and pop-punk (Cleary). He has dispensed with "pop" as a qualifier and created a distinct sound complementing Jeremy's words, inspired by Half Visconte, Reubens Accomplice, and Angel Falls.
TMINM has three albums written, and is working on recording the first, Jeffrey L. Allen, at this time.
