Born from a happy accident, the chemistry of 9 Moons Ago springs from a flow of creativity and experimentation.
9 Moons Ago unfolds a sonic universe where experimentation meets instinct.
 The group distills a singular "Lunar Rock," nourished by influences from rock, heavy blues, psychedelic rock, and sometimes stoner rock, in an organic fusion of hypnotic groove, sharp electric textures, and suspended atmospheres. 
Today, driven by a tight-knit quartet, the project shapes a chiaroscuro soundscape. Between the guitars of Ronan and Seb, which weave dreamlike sonic landscapes, and the rhythm section led by Philo on bass and Manu on drums, the group asserts a free, sensitive, and uncompromising identity. 
On stage, 9 Moons Ago is an invitation to a journey, where rock tension meets hazy atmospheres, bluesy accents, and psychedelic bursts, offering music that is both strange and deeply felt.

Manu and his rock galaxy 
Imagine a small teenage bedroom where it's impossible to get in because a drum kit takes up all the space. It's the brother's room, who doesn't want it anymore. It's 1989. The turntable is cranked to the max, "Money for Nothing" starts. And a kid grabs his drumsticks to imitate Terry Williams. That's when the spirit entered.
So it all started here for Manu, in a bedroom, in a tank top and a bandana over his forehead. And then came 1991 and 1992 and his musical explosion! "Nevermind," Metallica's black album, "Blood Sugar, Sex and Magik," and especially "Rage Against the Machine"!
A single idea in mind: to join a band.
"Blind Witness" would be the first. Pure metal fusion, the violence of the riffs mixed with the fury of the lyrics. Then came a second, grunge this time. Manu then opened up to musical creations blending theater and circus arts, with jazz-pop accents. "Hoppi Mnafek" would later allow him to travel through reggae-ska-Latin rhythms, surrounded by a horn section and talented musicians.
But the desire to return to his roots is stronger. The rock universe calls him back. It's 2010.
Manu then joins "The Divorcers" to play music with multiple influences ranging from Australian rock to heavy blues, flirting with glam rock and heavy metal.
Today, with 9 Moons Ago, Manu's musical story takes on a new lease of life. A band and musicians who allow him to sublimate his inspirations in a rock sound that is at once powerful, captivating, and delicate.
Philo

Philo

Bass

Philo, a bassist since adolescence, is as atypical as his first name: Philogone.
Summer or winter, in a t-shirt, he's always ready to groove.
Unobtrusive on stage, he gets a kick out of playing his 70s bass.
Oh, and don't be fooled by his concentrated expression, he's just cooking up a cheap joke.

Ronan and the love of FUZZ 
"Having fallen under the spell of various musical styles, especially rock (punk, hard rock, 70s rock, psychedelic, and metal), I discovered a rich scene in the early 90s in the "Stoner" scene, where I found a blend of all the influences that made me vibrate.
All of this, of course, with a common denominator: fuzz and a very heavy sound.
As a guitarist in Attack of Mutant Camels, then bassist in Glowsun, with whom I had the opportunity to release three albums and play across Europe alongside renowned bands from the Stoner scene, but also... in sometimes improbable places!
I'm not a big talker, but I do like to make people trip through music. It has to give you emotions, take you on a journey."

Guitar

Let's continue with Seb and his universe 
Seb first received classical piano training before exploring the world of guitar.
Nourished by his jazz influences, he won't hesitate to tickle your eardrums with sometimes surprising and exhilarating sounds that support the groove of 9 Moons Ago. What he loves most? Blurring the lines so that the band's musical style is authentic and uncategorized!
Always ready to take on a challenge, he adds a little vocal touch here and there to complement Julianne's magnificent timbre.
