**Moin** are a three piece based in London that comprises of **Tom Halstead** and **Joe Andrews** of the band **Raime** (Blackest Ever Black, RR) and percussionist **Valentina Magaletti** who operates over a great range of projects such as **Vanishing Twin**, **Tomaga** and **Lafawandah**.
The band navigate a revolving set of influences from obvious touch points such as alt rock, post-punk, art-rock and doom metal to more abstract ideas found in improv and found sound recording. In addition to these more closely related areas, shades of electronic music are still present providing a constant dialogue between the two practices.
The sound is direct but subtly re-assembled.
**Ava Mendoza** is a guitarist, songwriter and composer. Best known for her solo guitar/voice performances, and as the leader of the experimental rock band Unnatural Ways, she has received critical acclaim for her guitar work's compelling combination of technique and visceral impact.
