Without Love, Life is Gone. Without Life, Love Goes On and On

Tomorrow night, I’m going bravely venture into the outside world and trek all the way to the dirty streets of London town. The mission, the pilgrimage and the reward will be to see the one and only Viking Moses, otherwise known as Brendon Massei. I’m sure that if you have the ability to use the internet thus far, you can find all about Viking Moses all on your oddy knocky. Here are a few facts that you may not discover during your lonesome exploits online:

• Before travelling to The End of the Road festival this year, Brendon packed a little collection of homemade CDs to give to a friend as a personalised present. Two of these CDs were ‘Saint Eskimo – Of the West and Shut your Mouth’ and ‘Viking Moses – If We Were Moons’. These CDs are on my computer desk as I type. I am not the aforementioned friend.


• Brendon’s favourite venue is The Luminaire, London.


• Brendon answers his own emails.


• Brendon is poor and sometimes has to sell his belongings, even the ones he plans to give away as presents.

What you can find out on the internet is that:

• Viking Moses has played with the likes of Bonnie Prince Billy, Cat Power and Devendra Banhart.


• Brendon has been perpetually on tour since 1996.


• Viking Moses have released an album called ‘Crosses’ which warrants eight out of ten from Drowned in Sound.


• Brendan will be playing his favourite venue in the whole wide world tomorrow night.
