The Boston music scene has been described as constantly changing, offering a little bit of something for everyone. With such a range of music available in the area, and with new artists emerging constantly, the fans of this scene frequently turn to the latest in new music in the area in order to be on the edge of what’s happening. The scene is simply one in which the new kid on the block often gets a good chance at being the most recognized name in the area. Blue Moon Harem has a history which flaunts itself in direct contrast to this reality. This modern rock band has been making music in the Boston area since 1999 and shows no signs of becoming just an old name anytime soon. While attention wavers between all of the other bands in the area, singular focus on developing their talent over time has kept this band in the minds of area music fans. Much of what keeps the attention of music fans on Blue Moon Harem is that they offer enough variety in their music to make sure that the “something for everyone” availability of sounds in the Boston music scene is also available throughout their own CD’s. Though at heart they are a rock band, they are not afraid of testing the waters and showing off their talents in other areas of music including pop, funk, jazz, old school and even techno. For example, in the intro to their song, “Willow,” there is a hint of Pink Floyd influence although the lyrics and vocals are more reminiscent of early 1990’s alternative songs. In contrast, “Ride,” has a strong funk flavor to it which defies generational labels. The band’s ability to pull off these different sounds is rooted in the fact that they have a thorough understanding of the strengths of their rock background and they use it as a foundation for building a more evolved rhythm with each song that they play. The full range of their musical talent can be heard on the eleven songs of their self-titled CD. Each song falls in to a different category of music, placing Blue Moon Harem at the center of Boston’s attention in a number of different genres. The changing music world can sometimes be fickle, but solid bands such as this one find a way to stick around.
