The Big Moon

"The Big Moon is a London based four-piece Indie rock formed in 2014 by Juliette Jackson. London punk-pop four-piece the Big Moon formed in 2014 following Juliette Jackson's decision that a career in waitressing wasn't a life choice she was prepared to commit to. After putting the word out, Jackson met three other like-minded women through mutual friends, and the Big Moon was born. With Jackson leading, the rest of the band was composed of Soph Nathan on guitar and vocals, Celia Archer on bass and vocals, and Fern Ford on drums. The quartet went into a rehearsal room in London's Stoke Newington and began work on Jackson's material. Taking their lead from the grunge and Brit-pop girl groups of the '90s, the Big Moon self-produced "Sucker" and the aptly titled "Eureka Moment" and released the tracks via the fledgling Hard Up label in 2015. The latter was an assured slice of grungy punk-pop recalling the abrasive yet melodically sweet output of groups like the Breeders and Elastica, and it brought them to the attention of the London music scene. The band built on the exposure with a co-headlining tour in October 2015 alongside fellow London acts InHeaven and Vant.
