The latest band to grab the coveted Monday night residency over at the Wayfarer is The Moan, a throwback rock outfit hailing from Santa Ana. They play '60s gritty garage for the most part, though you'll find a polished popish ditty or two in their catalogue, and with a full six-member band plus two backup singers/dancers (the adorable Moanettes), it's a surprisingly full, layered sound. But don't take that too seriously—The Moan is a good-time party band through and through. Tonight (and every Monday in November), they play with an assortment of supporting bands. This session also welcomes SoCal soul band Allensworth, and the sweetly somber Hank and Her Ponies.
