Formed by legendary guitarist Juan Montoya (a founding member of Torche) and drummer Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, Royal Thunder), MOON DESTROYS released their first EP 'Maiden Voyage' in 2020. The 5-song debut featured contributions from Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Bryan Richie (The Sword) and laid a foundation that would come fully into focus in April 2025, when MOON DESTROYS was thrust into the limelight supporting Elder just as they were self-releasing their debut full-length She Walks By Moonlight. Gritty and distorted yet hazy and hypnotic, She Walks By Moonlight shifts from shimmering post-rock to driving riff-doom and back to shoegazy psychedelia. It's a cinematic and otherworldly journey from a band who breeze easily into the environs of My Bloody Valentine, The Cult, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Ride, ultimately collapsing all efforts at categorization into its effervescent, compulsive swirl. Capping off 2025, MOON DESTROYS was invited to support Swedish icons Dozer on their long-awaited US tour, while Blues Funeral Recordings gave She Walks By Moonlight a proper worldwide (re) release in October, just in time for a coveted run of dates with The Sword. MOON DESTROYS’ ushered in 2026 with the addition of Zach Amster from Abrams as both lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist. The band’s next full length will be released in September 2026 with touring in the US and overseas to follow. Presented by Hi-Dive. This is a 21+ event
