About

Moose were a British indie rock band who formed in London in 1990. The original line-up included Russell Yates (guitar, vocals), K.J. "Moose" McKillop (guitar, vocals), Damien Warburton (drums), and Jeremy Tishler (bass). After Warburton and Tishler left the band they were replaced with Lincoln Fong (bass), his brother Russell (guitar), and Richard Thomas (drums). Other members have included Mig Moorland (drums) and Mick Conroy (keyboards).

Moose released three EPs on Hut Records. Within the next few years the band released two albums on Play It Again Sam. Despite a strong critical response, Moose's albums continued to sell few copies. Following the release of their third album, Live a Little Love a Lot, Moose took an extended break from music only to return five years later with the release of High Ball Me!. The bulk of High Ball Me! had been recorded in 1996 and 1997, (with one song, "There's a Place," dating from 1993), but sat unreleased as the band members decided whether or not to continue with Moose. "This River Will Never Run Dry" featured on the Britpop collection, The Brit Box.

McKillop went on to become a founding member of the supergroup Piroshka, along with his partner Miki Berenyi (formerly of Lush), Justin Welch (Elastica) and Michael Conroy (Modern English).

Moose est un groupe de rock indépendant britannique, originaire de Londres, en Angleterre. Il est formé en 1990 par le chanteur Russell Yates et le guitariste Kevin McKillop. D'abord caractérisée par l'emploi de guitares saturées comme chez un grand nombre de groupes britanniques de cette période, entre autres Ride, Slowdive, ou encore The Boo Radleys, leur musique s'est par la suite enrichie de sonorités plus acoustiques et d'arrangements plus diversifiés.
