WALK THE MOON Â Â WALK THE MOON Â is an American rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Â Lead singer Nicholas Petricca started the band in 2006, while a student at Kenyon College, deriving the band's name from the song "Walking on the Moon" by The Police. Â In February 2011, they signed to RCA Records and in June 2012 released their first major label studio album, Walk the Moon. Â The album includes a re-recorded version of "Anna Sun" from their debut album, i want!, i want!, which was song of the summer at least two years in a row. Â In December 2014, the band released their second major-label studio album, Talking Is Hard. Â This album includes the song "Shut Up and Dance," which hit number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one on the Billboard Rock Songs chart and Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

 While What Is This? was working on their album, Alain Johannes met Natasha Shneider, and they immediately clicked musically.  She joined What Is This? shortly thereafter.  They then formed a duo called Walk the Moon – not the same band as the Cincinnati-based band Walk the Moon that formed in 2006 – and had other musical sounds besides rock on their album, Walk the Moon (1987).  (April 2015/1)  |
