When the members of Atlanta-based Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun formed in mid-2006, they had no idea just how far the band would go.

The four friends had previously been in band, and decided to play together after taking a break from the music scene. The band wrote music in guitarist Cregg Gibson’s basement and worked on developing a unique sound, which they describe as “indie-electro-fuzz rock,” while resolving various kinks.

“Cregg and I both play guitar, and neither one of us had played with another guitarist in a really long time,” said guitarist Lauren Gibson, “so it was fun learning how to give and take there.”

Initially, the band didn’t worry about extending their musical audience beyond the basement. However, after writing for about a year, the friends decided to focus on the band full-time.

“Material started coming out of us, and we really wanted to share it,” Gibson said.

Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun will perform at Tasty World tomorrow night after three years of activity, two albums and countless performances.

Today the Moon is arriving in Athens fresh off the heels of a tour of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

“Every night has been a very pleasant surprise,” said Gibson. “In a couple of different places, our draw is starting to fill out. We’ve sold out all but two of our tickets and all of our stickers and buttons, so it’s been a very productive, very successful tour.”

The band also enjoyed personal time on the tour, with sightseeing in Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, N.C.

However, the tour was not without its low points. In Asheville, N.C., the band was stricken by a 24-hour bug.

“We are, for some reason, highly allergic to some sort of tree that is in Asheville,” said bassist Micah Silverman. “This was our third time in Asheville, and we’ve had the same thing going on. Finally, this time we [said], ‘We must be allergic to something here.’”

Today the Moon has recently been working on their newest EP, tentatively slated for release on Oct. 17. According to Gibson, the band has recorded its new EP itself and has “a good chunk” of it completed.

“We still have one more song and a few more instrument tracks we’ve got to mix and get mastered,” she said.

The new EP will showcase the diverse range of Today the Moon’s sound, from the slower, blues-inspired “Heavyweight Champions” to the up-tempo “Bones,” which features a chorus that, according to Gibson, “is much more smiley than we’re used to writing. But it’s fun to have that kind of contrast.”

While Gibson calls the new EP “the most danceable of our records,” she believes the album will fit well with the musical styles Today the Moon has developed. “I think we’re starting to hone in on what we really excel at.”

Today the Moon will share the stage with three other Atlanta bands: Dead Rabbits, This Piano Plays Itself, and Kalvinova.

Dead Rabbits, a two-piece featuring guitarist Josh DeRosa and drummer Lucas Fuentes, has only been together in its current form since January of this year – and this show will serve as its Classic City debut.

“[Our music] is very bluesy and very organic,” said DeRosa. “We take a lot of influence from ’40s and ’50s blues and ’60s rock, and also the 1970s New York art scene.”

The band hopes to release its first album in September and has recorded, mixed and mastered it itself.

“It’s pretty lo-fi quality, but that’s what we like,” DeRosa said.

The members of This Piano Plays Itself describes the band as psychedelic space rock.

“We like our instrumental jams, but we also like some things with a little bit of pop structure,” said guitarist Eric Bouthiller.

This Piano Plays Itself believes that its new album, which should be released in January, will be more dynamic than its self-titled debut.

“It’s a story without being a concept album, pretty much,” said Bouthiller. “It’s gonna be bigger, it’s gonna be quieter, it’s gonna be louder, and it’s gonna be longer.”
