The Moore Brothers

Greg and Thom Moore stand apart from the many acts that merely profess a fraternal bond, since the two musicians are in fact brothers who spent their formative years side by side in Altadena, CA. Although each had already logged time in separate endeavors, the siblings waited until 2001 to launch the Moore Brothers. As early as the late ’80s Thom began assembling groups, one of which was Colorful Calliope alongside R&B singer Jon B. Greg, meanwhile, issued a solo album prior to teaming with Thom in the folk-punk outfit Thumb of the Maid. Once the remaining members of that band stepped away, the Moore siblings established their own project and issued its first album, Colossal Small, through Amazing Grease—the label started by Pavement’s Scott Kannberg.
