Moon Cresta

MOON CRESTA is the type of band they call Power & Funk, open and eclectic in style reviving 1970´s rock and funk and also remaining contemporary.

Manu"Doble L" (guitarist & backing vocals), David "Mr. D." Vázquez (keyboards & vocals), Kike"Calzonetti" (bassist & backing vocals), and Rubén Assaulter (drummer) are the members of a band that has slogged away on innumerable stages across Spain and Portugal during a 2 year tour playing the songs of their first album (CD+DVD) eROCKtile dysFUNKtion SOULutions.

The power & funk formula developed by MOON CRESTA in their first album has become more energetic and full of groove in this new release than ever before. Making the most of this exultant musical stage, the band contacted a figure of the music industry that seems to be omnipresent in many of the records by the most important bands and artists during the last few decades. Sylvia Massy appears at the side of personalities such as Rick Rubin or George Drakoulias (producers of Rage Against the Machine, Kula Shaker, Audioslave, Jayhawks among others), and bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Crowes, Skunk Anansie, Reef, Tool, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers…

Therefore MOON CRESTA decided to move to Weed, California (USA), to the RadioStar Studios, owned by Sylvia Massy, and work on the new project. A theatre built in the 1920’s, the same Neve 8038 console that Led Zeppelin employed to mix their album The song remains the same, guitars played by rock icons like Johnny Cash or Tom Petty, are some of the gear, circumstances and conditions that make this record an undeniable sample of technical, interpretative and creative quality.

Finally, just to finish this careful process, the band find other prestigious studios to master the album. Stephen Marcussen, who has mastered records by The Rolling Stones, Jet, Wolfmother and Ben Harper, puts the finishing touches on the work by MOON CRESTA.

MOON CRESTA new album “The sparkling radiostars & their lunatic orcresta” shows their personal vision of rock and funk through careful song writing and forceful groovy performance. An eclectic work that confirms the particular power & funk style of MOON CRESTA with songs like “Be real”, “Leave them alone” or “Hard Railway”, but also explores new expressive language in tracks like “Burn”, “Infatuation” or “Long way from home”.
