ABOUT
I'm in a five (5) piece Rock, Pop & Blues Band with a sound reminiscent of the 1970’s. MOSS writes social / political songs aimed to get messages important to them out there to promote thought and discussion but they also love to see you groove..
MOSS members grew up in an era where songs were very much media commentary. The stage was the podium, the lyrics the speeches. Songs with a social message continue to resonate with MOSS. MOSS’s performance focus is to our original works however we have a deep reserve of complimentary covers to apply as our performances require. Artists that MOSS weave into their show from time to time include but are not restricted to: The Bee Gees, INXS, Warumpi Band, The Masters Apprentices, Matt Taylor, Hunters & Collectors, Goanna, Russell Morris, Icehouse, Skyhooks, The Screaming Jets, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), Joe Cocker, Canned Heat, Fleetwood Mac, The Dandy Warhols, Deep Purple, Foo Fighters to mention a few.

Rock God
Rock God Track number: 5 Year: 2018 Album: Ruby Slippers Genre: Rock
ROCK GOD - © Copyright 2017 Lyrics: Suzie Craig Music: Mark Simpkin, Clive Pollard, Graham Knowles & Peter Cornthwaite. Website: www.mossmusic.com.au ROCK GOD has a foundation based on the fact that all MOSS members not only played their part in the creation of this song musically, but we all shared the same experience and emotion relating to the subject matter. As with all the sentiments in our songs, MOSS band members are on the same page, but ROCK GOD goes that little bit further in connecting us to a shared experience. One that we’ll never forget and should never forget! We’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves:
