The Interview Show with Moon King 2015-13

Toronto’s latest hype band Moon King is two best friends: Daniel Benjamin and Maddy Wilde. These two have been making music together for most of their lives. They started Toronto youth-pop band Spiral Beach when they were barely teenagers (along with Daniel’s brother Airick who is now the man behind Montreal buzz band Doldrums).

I chatted with Daniel on a busy Friday night Robson Street. We talked about everything from surviving a band break up, what it’s like working for his brother Airick (as the drummer in Doldrums) and that strange song Daniel wrote about Jupiter having sex with Mercury. You have to listen to our chat!

Daniel told me that the Moon King “Only Child” is the track Moon King fans know his band for the most, but do Moon King fans know what (and who) this song is about? You’ll have to listen to our chat to find out.

Since I talked with Moon King, the band has signed to indie powerhouse Last Gang Records (home to DFA 1979, Purity Ring and Ryan Hemsworth among others) so expect to see BIG things from these two in the near future.
