I saw Dead Moon live in Holland in 1994, I was front row. I shook Fred's hand when he was changing a guitar string and he gave me the old string. 27 years later I still have the string and the entrance ticket.
Hoarder
I bet his guitar rig sounded so damn good in person.
Wow! Cool story
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better music interview. This is precious stuff.
👏👏👏👍kia ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand this is just an amazing interview TOODY you WONDERFUL WONDERFUL LADY
The end had me in tears 😭
I happened to find this while looking up Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows live videos since it's the anniversary of Fred's death and I'm feeling mushy. And WOW what a gift this is. Toody is just the coolest and sweetest. About a decade ago I was talking with her after a show here in Milwaukee and vividly remember her warmth and that great laugh. She is just so REAL and right from the start spoke to me as if we'd already known each other. I hope I'll always hold on to that memory and feeling from it.
Kia Ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand I've been very lucky to have seen DEAD MOON and PEARCED ARROWS here in Aotearoa New Zealand more times than i can remember with my favourite kiwi band STICKY FILTH. TO SAY I LOVE THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WOULD BE THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE DECADE R.I.P
FRED TOODY ANDREW 😢 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MUSIC MAGIC
Kia Ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand. Hay the first time DEAD MOON came here we turned up to the dog and trumpet Pub we pulled into the car park and there's Fred Toody and Andrew passing a big bottle of something?i walked up to them and asked if i could have a slug on what ever they were spitting out thinking it was some kind of spirit alcohol. Sure said Fred if you want a slug of Listerine 😅 😂 gargling to soothe his vocal chords they were unbloody real down to earth people who were unbelievable on stage
Thank you so much Tanya... and thank you so much Toody. This interview is so very much YOU.
Completely open, straightforward, true.
This is how I know you, how we all know you.
You have changed lives.
She is still so full of life, it's amazing to see. I bought the first Dead Moon record today, In The Graveyard, and really like it. That's why I searched for more on UA-cam and found this. Thank you! ❤
It gives me chills when she tells about Andy's depression about his age. I met Andy at the bar at Dante's at the Green River Reunion show in 2008. Being a fan of Dead Moon I happened to recognize him sitting across from me at the bar and he was beyond GONE. We chatted a bit. I got to meet him. That was cool! He seemed like a really nice guy though he was beyond smashed. Never understood what happened to him or why Dead Moon broke up until this interview here. Whatever the case, it was a memorable show and I feel lucky to have been there and got to meet the drummer from one of my favorite bands (aside from Green River who played that night). That added to everything else that night. It was like the cherry on the cake for me. I feel lucky to have seen Dead Moon live at Crystal Ballroom in 2003. That was a stellar show.
Kia Ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand hay i've been very lucky to have seen DEADMOON many times with STICKY FILTH just down to earth genuine good people I've had talks before and after shows with them humble genuine good people
What a strong lovely woman , i love this interview

Today and the Dead Moon are bad-ass! I have mad Respect for this woman...she my favorite musician off all time ! Mad respect! El Paso Texas Loves the Dead Moon!
I meant Toody
glad to have found this interview, thanks!
wow!Amazing work, congratulations!!!!!! This band has a huge fan base in Athens -GR. never forget when i first saw them in An Club, around 2003, original line -up. fff,,blew my mind
Man.. what an amazing interview!!! I absolutely 🖤 DEAD MOON. It wasn’t always like that though. I first heard them in Providence Rhode Island when I was about 21. It wasn’t my bag at the time, but I truly got into them after moving to PDX the spring of 2007. I took out a bunch of CD’s from the library on Killingsworth. After that I became a true fan. Them and WIPERS. I’ve had the opportunity to see both dead moon and pierced arrows since and have met them all in many occasions. Absolutely wonderful people. ✊🏽🖤
God what a amazing couple. I tell my girl all the time that I want our marriage to be like Fred and Toody’s
She’s rad. Imma huge fan of everything they did.
What a beautiful soul she is
this is a great great interview, pure gold
This has me in tears Toody 🙏😭 thank you for the music and this insite into your wonderful musical journey and the way you treated us fans hanging out before and after shows with their people
This is outta sight!! Excellent interview. Excellent channel. Subscribed!! Look forward to checking out past interviews (I see Tracy Bonham in there, woo!) and future interviews. Nice work!
veeeeery good interview, i am grateful to have watched this. toody is a wonderful person, her story is interesting and "bla bla bla" :-D
you know what i mean after listening to her. sense matters.
She is ACES!! And Dead Moon was just...Look, there were fans (myself included) that followed them around. Kinda like the Grateful Dead, but not at all -much better! And man, if they came back out and did a full COUNTRY set after the show?? The BEST.
Great! Thank you!!
She so rad 👏🏾🙏🏾Thank u for making this
❤️❤️
Amazing interview!
This should be mandatory listening material for the inquisitive...
Tombstone music was the best!!!
wow
Parents just left you alone and you entertained yourselves so true even for me born 1969 so I don't know when the parents letting you do your own thing by it was happing in1980s great times o pretty innocent fun dropping cat off roof with make shift back plastic bag as para shoot a string on each corner of bag ,or bringing every mattress or into back yard while mom at work and jumped off roof on the mattresses for a trampoline ,catching crawdads and fish and transferring them to ditches or ponds to start a new population in small street and ponds or fish tanks sounds boring but fun I love these guys I bought a package deal in 1987 ? Dead moons 1st LP and reissue of weeds 2 song 45 w/ pic.sleeve for something like $7 -$8 ! From MRR zine and kept up with each new Lp as they came up been fan ever since, I read some of their love story in a book the brewery McMinnimas put out about the history of the crystal ball room, oregon talks lot about weeds and the hip center of 1960s I sure am glad she can speak of Fred in a accepted death tone rather that not being able to speak about him without getting bummed out love you today keep smiling
I wish modern feminists stopped complaining and were more like her, just doing what she wants against any expectations. Love her
And having good things to say of both male and female role models equally. Patti Smith is exactly the same. Loved her husband. Her brother and father were her heroes.
Dig her mentor KatherynHepburn's story...
