Ever since I mentioned Dead Moon the other day I’ve had Until it Rains in my head. My favourite song of the Portland three-piece and also the only one I actually remember. When I discovered the garage rock band through Dutch radio in the mid 1990s the fun fact about them was that the two singers were grandparents – which was extremely rare in an era when musicians in their 50s were ancient. Three decades on and Dead Moon is two-thirds dead (only Toody Cole is still alive and making music) but lives on in my head through this great song.
