Lunar 9
From Minnewiki
"Lunar 9 is a project that formed out of Shapeshifter and Deep Shag. It's good pop music for riding around in a UFO." Chris Strouth, City Pages, April 22, 1998
'The long, bitter winters of Minnesota are enough to make anyone want to see a few bright rays of sunlight. Since no one can control the climate, bands like Lunar 9 create a wash of color with a multi-hued mass of fuzzy pop/rock. Songwriter/ vocalist Jon Hunt joined forces with guitarist Rob Robello, drummer Terry Haanan Jr., keyboardist/vocalist Renatta Hunt (Jon's wife), bassist Chris Hill and programmer Jason Ducklinsky, like-minded peers who had all done stints in locally based bands. "In Shatterproof [singed to Fort Apache], I was just the side guy," Jon Hunt says. "I had a pile of 15 songs just collecting dust on my tape machine. We like noise, things that are psychedelic, dance grooves and melodic pop music." Working in the studio with Polara's Ed Ackerson (who's reviving his Susstones label), the group is preparing a series of singles soon to be released; in the interim, they've become darlings of the collegiate and hipster rock set with kinetic performances. Helped by radio rotation on Radio K, Lunar 9 has hatched something of a scene. Jon says, "I think we had a hand in bringing people together. I think we may be the most accessible aspect of that scene,our songs are catchy."' Billboard, November 21, 1998
