Half Moon Band came to life in Johnny Stephan's parent's garage in 2001. Johnny had a drum kit set up there, and when schoolmates Tom Gunn and Joey Lee brought by their guitars, a band was born. When Gio Tantalo joined on bass a year later, the Half Moon Band was ready to play. Ever since then, we've been playing to packed houses at local venues, working on original material, and waiting for the big break that will let us quite our day jobs. Although, technically, Gio's job as a bartender is actually a night job.

Tom's the guy who brought in the didgeridoo, so if you don't like indiginous Australian music, blame him. Tom actually finished graduate school last year, so he now has a master's degree in Latin.
Yes, Latin. What can you do with a master's degree in a dead language? If you know, please email him and let him know--currently he's a barista at Big Bean Coffee.
