(1981 – present, 1998 – present)

MOEV was originally formed by Tom Ferris and Cal Stephenson back in 1981. After some initial demos they added the voice of Madeleine Morris and the guitar of Mark Jowett to form a solid four piece. The first recording output of the group was “Zimmerkampf” which only saw vinyl and tape releases and has never appeared on an official release CD (except as part of a compilation collection). (Go! Records) went bankrupt leaving the band to find another publisher for their work.

1984 saw a number of important changes and milestones for the band. Nettwerk Records was formed to release the next Moev album. Madeleine Morris left the band and was replaced by Michella Arrichiello. With their new record label and singer on board, the band entered the studio to record Dusk and Desire which was released in 1985. The album was a bit poppier than early releases, and “Took Out the Lace” became a small club hit. (Interestingly, the album was distributed in the US by hip-hop label Profile.)

Through 1986 and ‘87 all original remaining members of the band left but for founder Tom Ferris. He was joined by new vocalist Dean Russell and bass player Kelly Cook and Anthony Valcic. The band released Yeah, Whatever in 1988, a moody synth record quite removed from the dance-pop of “Took Out the Lace”, but reminiscent of their earlier work. After the title track began to climb the college radio charts and receive some MTV support, Atlantic signed Moev in the U.S.
