The first performance ever was opening for JAMIROQUAI on July 2nd 2011, in front of 35.000 people.
First national tour was in partnership with RED BULL. The Red Bull "New In Town" Tour began in February and lasted until April 2012.
They recently released their first album, "Shout", with the support of ORANGE ROMANIA. The album release event gathered 3000 people that filled the venue's capacity (access by invitation only / invitations available on both band's and Orange's facebook pages, through a dedicated application).
They're also planning on releasing an acoustic version of the album.
(it was for the first and only time the two brands supported a band in Romania)
Following the first public appearance (opening slot for Jamiroquai at Orange Summer Party event in 2011), they played two important EUROPEAN FESTIVALS: SUMMER WELL (Romania) and SPIRIT OF BURGAS (Bulgaria).
For the following shows the stage set was upgraded. LES ATELIERS NOMAD joined the team (3D mapping engineers in charge of the visuals). The show consists of a mix between abstract visual elements and synchronised short videos of each band member playing, projected onto circles of different dimensions, suspended above the stage. It looks different everytime, as we've always had a different set-up.
(You can get a better picture of what their show looks like from the "No More" video. It contains footage from the album release event, received from fans).
Every single released so far („Still”, „Shout”, "Play", "Hello", "No More" and "Hard Times") has reached the top positions in Romania’s best alternative radio charts (with “Shout” entering the charts straight at No1). In January 2012 Superfly Fm, from Vienna also started airing "Play", "Silent Disco" and "No more". They were invited to have a live acoustic session in the Superfly studio to promote their album.
"No more" was no 1 for 2 consecutive weeks in the Guerrilla chart.
Selected to represent Romania in October 2011 for the Music Alliance Pact (Every month, 35 music bloggers from around the world, operating together as the Music Allliance Pact, simultaneously post a favourite new track from their patch of the planet.)
Selected to play at the UEFA Europa League Finals gala (held this year in Bucharests' National Arena) by UEFA officials.
Selected to play at the closing party of the Transilvanian International Film Festival 2012.
Described by american blogger Fred Hystere as "Bananarama with Billie Holiday-style vocals", the distinctive sound has managed to capture the attention of a broad and diverse audience .
The musical director of the top alternative radio station in Romania named them in a television interview :"best music act for export" .
They were the first group to ever perform live on radio Guerrilla's show, Guerrilive, after only 6 months of activity. :)
Last but not least, they are a group of multi-instrumentists: BAZOOKA (producer, plays drums, clarinet, keys), PRINTZU (electric guitar, bass), ADITA ( keys, acoustic guitar, sampler) and CHRISTIE (vocalist, sampler) so there is a lot going on on stage you must see.
Hard Times
Moonlight Breakfast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody taught me about dissapointment
You have to learn that on your own
Wanted to talk babe
Dared to dream, eh-ey to dream
These are hard times
We're going through some hard times
I said... hard times
We're going through some hard times
We... we... we...
We.
Hard times (Hard times)
We... we... we...
We.
Yes you didn't know it
You were too busy too see
But was it worth it?
'Cause you get where you wanted to aim
You had to step on your eye
To get to me
So was it worth it?
Tell me!
Hard times
We're going through some hard times
I said... hard times
We're going through some hard times
We... we... we...
We.
Hard times
Were going through some hard times
I said... hard times
Were going through some hard tïmes
Baby.
The song "Hard Times" by Moonlight Breakfast speaks to the challenges and disappointments that come with pursuing your dreams. The opening lines suggest that disappointment is something that you cannot learn from others but must experience on your own. The lyrics indicate that the singer has dreams and desires that they want to share and talk about with someone, but they do not have anyone to listen to them. Despite this, the singer has not given up on their dreams and continues to work hard towards achieving them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "hard times" over and over and asserts that everyone is going through difficult times. It can be interpreted as a call for empathy and understanding that everyone is facing their own struggles. The second verse talks about the sacrifices people make to achieve their goals and how sometimes, those sacrifices can cause pain, such as stepping on their own self-respect. The lyrics then question whether it was worth it to make these sacrifices and go through the pain if it led to achieving their goals.
"Hard Times" is a soulful song that encourages listeners to keep pushing through tough times and to not give up on their dreams. The lyrics touch upon universal themes such as disappointment, sacrifice, and hard work, making it relatable to anyone who has undergone the process of chasing their goals.
