| The Irascibles |
| The Irascibles is the most recent band with Philip & Drew Moxham. They made the record "Blues is calling"in 2018. |
|
|
The band consist of Phil & Drew Moxham and singer Nick Lewis. “The three of us played together since 2001 and we hit on things and there were sparks. Our music is crossed with British beat music, post punk and delta blues. Phil & Drew are aficionados of African & Cuban music. We are trying to get a blend of that. We are beginning to get our own ‘groove’. We want to be a really good British beat group and as a 3 piece there is a tension that you just don’t get with bigger line ups. The Irascibles are growing and developing a unique sound that is the culmination of the lifetime work, experience and inspiration of three gifted musicians." |

DAVID
THOMAS and "The
Sound Of The Sand And Other Songs Of The Pedestrian"
"If you could choose any guitarist ever for a solo album, who would
it be?" Richard Thompson was the answer. I wanted to put him together
with Phil Moxham from Young Marble Giants and Anton Fier."

The Howling Sleepers
|
The Howling Sleepers were active during the late 80's and early 90's in Cardiff. They comprised Chris Ridgeway (guitar, vocals & harmonica), Paul Sax (fiddle), the Craddock brothers (guitar and bass) and Drew Moxham (drums). Their music was an infectious and danceable brew of bluegrass and punky americana - Cowpunk perhaps? Often their songs had sad, melancholy, bluesy lyrics; but the melodies were upbeat, cheerful and played at a reckless, breakneck speed. The result was a kind of tongue-in-cheek humourous "life's bad - so let's party!" feeling. The band recorded one album: "Soft Drinks and Snacks" - that captures at least some of the feel of those sweaty, anarchic, live shows. Sadly, the band split in the early 90s - giving rise to other Cardiff roots bands The Vinegar Flies, The Bucket Band, Doofer and lately Cakehole Presley.
