Good things don’t usually come in halves. For instance, half a banana is questionable, half a cat is tragic, and a metaphorical half-empty glass is usually the despondent result of the aforementioned hypothetical situations. Half Moon Run, however, defy expectations, with their shimmering performances at Woodford and Peats Ridge last summer a testament to their abilities.

The Canadian indie rockers’ debut single ‘Full Circle’ has been spinning on triple j, and now their minty fresh release ‘Call Me In The Afternoon’ has the world on edge – which is no hyperbole when tours alongside Mumford & Sons and Of Monsters and Men are under your belt. Catch them Thursday January 9 at Newcastle’s The Small Ballroom when they return to play tracks from their acclaimed album Dark Eyes. Then it’s down to Sydney’s The Standard on Saturday January 11 and The Brass Monkey on Tuesday January 14.
