Cleveland Alternative pop-rock darlings\u00a0MESSMAKER<\/strong>\u00a0have taken a break from their relentless show schedule and anthemic single dropping to drop a silky smooth, shimmering cover of King Harvest\u2019s 1970s smash hit\u00a0\u201cDancing In The Moonlight\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0 The song has been a recent staple of the duo\u2019s live performances, so the natural next step would be to record their fresh take on the classic.\u00a0\u201cWe like to approach covering songs by first imagining how another artist might have written it, and then covering THAT version, in our style,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0explains MESSMAKER.\u00a0\u201cIn this case, we wondered what it would be like if Dancing in the Moonlight had been written by Benny and the Jets-era Elton John. Turns out, it sounded pretty all right. It\u2019s way too much fun to play live, and people at shows seemed to enjoy it at least as much as we did, so we thought we\u2019d take it to the studio.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The song is the latest in a string of singles released by MESSMAKER, including the singles \u201cPaying Attention<\/a>\u201d and \u201cWe Are The Architects<\/a>\u201d. \u201cDancing In The Moonlight\u201d is available now and is streaming across all DSPs.<\/p>\n
