Modern Day Moonshine

".and that's why you don't get lost in Mexico."



The stories only go on from there. After five years, over 500 gigs (including a two and a half year stint as the house band at the House of Blues San Diego), there are plenty to go around.



What started as a two man band in 2004 has evolved into a trio whose sound is centered on the soul, blues and rock of the late sixties and early seventies. From first listen, the influences of artists such as the Meters, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Neil Young are infused into a sound that defines the trio of Goodnough, Burrows and McCaskey. Armed with a catalog of over 100 original tunes, MDM is a throwback to the days of being able to catch a band on consecutive nights without having to hear the same set twice.



Having previously released two full length albums with “19 in ‘67” (2006) and “Same Old Fight” (2008), the group released their first studio effort as a trio in 2009's Self-Titled EP. In early 2010 MDM signed onto their new home, Ripple Music. "Refuge," their debut full length album on Ripple Music will see a June 2010 release.



"Refuge" is further proof that the band refuses to be labeled into just one genre, all the while carrying a sound and voice that is unmistakably their own. Recording on the album started just weeks after the band signed a deal with Ripple Music, and it marked the first sessions since moving up to their new bay area home. The 12 songs give insight to a more fine-tuned and mature MDM, with the northern influeces being heard loud and clear.



MDM is:

Todd P. Goodnough - guitar, vocals

David L. Burrows - drums

Brendan T. McCaskey - bass
