Hay-on-Wye's Moon Goose have probably the most interesting biography we've ever received...
Ìý
"The band have crawled out of the primal swamp and taken a good look around.
Ìý
"The resulting bird has flapped madly around a barn with a load of guitars strapped to one wing and a synthesizer on the other, while it flies repeatedly into some drums.
Ìý
"Made out of bits of comet and whalebone, the music that people are already calling 'epic' and 'unlistenable' throws a jagged beam of light in the growing darkness, to reveal some people using a barn as a giant amplifier.
Ìý
"Moon Goose put music in a bag and shook it around until it was in bits, poured the bits out, and set fire to them.
Ìý
"It’s the sound of a dragon colliding with an asteroid."
Ìý
"The most beautiful vibrant big sounds from this genre-defying 'space/synth rock' machine!" - Andrew Marston.

Musicians' Masterclass

As we continue our top tips from Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing Live, this week we hear from one of the most successful record producers of all time - Nile Rodgers.
Ìý
Born in New York City, Nile’s first professional gig came as a teenager working on a new TV show called Sesame Street! He then joined the house band at the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem before meeting bass guitarist Bernard Edwards who he formed a production company with called Chic Organisation Limited.
Ìý
Together, they wrote, produced and played songs for Ashford & Simpson, Luther Vandross, Chic, Norma Jean Wright, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Carly Simon, Teddy Pendergrass and Debbie Harry.
Ìý
They eventually disbanded the organisation and continued to write individually with Duran Duran, Madonna, Rod Stewart, ABC, The Powerstation, Robert Plant, Ronald Isley, Jeff Beck, David Bowie, The B52’s, Depeche Mode, Slash, Cyndi Lauper, Peter Gabriel, Jody Watley, The Thompson Twins, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, The Vaughan Brothers, INXS, Paul Simon, Hall & Oats, Laurie Anderson, Sheena Easton, Grace Jones, Al Jarreau, Bryan Ferry, Sting, Eddie Murphy, David Lee Roth, Mariah Carey, David Sanborn, Joss Stone, Bob Dylan, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, Adam Lambert, Sam Sparro, La Roux, Mark Ronson, Chase & Status, Alex Newell, Nicky Romero, Michael McDonald, Tensnake, Disclosure, David Guetta, Avicii, Mystery Skull, Sam Smith, Jota Quest, Anderson .Paak, Nao, Emily Sande, Elton John, Craig David, Lunchmoney Lewis, Ke$ha, Vic Mensa, Stefflon Don, George Michael, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk and Michael Jackson.
Ìý
Chic reformed at Nile’s birthday party in the early ‘90s and Prince inspired the band to go on tour in Japan, where Bernard passed away after the last show. Nile never thought he’d play any Chic music without him - but one year later, a Japanese promoter asked Nile to continue in tribute to Bernard - which inspired Nile to play more and more.
