The VIKING MOSES was initiated by Southern Missourian Brendon Massei in 2003. The band has a dynamic, rotating cast of both established and obscure musicians worldwide, and is currently based in Northern Appalachia (USA).
More straight forward rock/soul than weird/folk as most of their contemporaries seem to be marketed, Viking Moses’ recordings are very accessible in convention, though live shows normally tend to have an unconventional approach, being hosted in unorthodox venues, often having assembled bands night-of, using members of support bands or strangers in the audience. Both aspects are delivered with utmost soul, passion, and humility, and always offer fans and strangers an experience which is unique and often contrary to expectation.
Viking Moses has been finding very fair attention since 2004, thanks to Devendra Banhart’s “Golden Apples…” compilation and good words, followed by a signing by Alan McGee (Creation Records founder, and manager of Oasis, Jesus & Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, Mogwai, Libertines, etc.) which has found Viking Moses high acclaim in UK and Europe, and kept them heavily active in that part of the world these past few years.

i think you guys with taste like yours will like The Lady Sails, and they've just released their new album for free, they're slightly alternative/folk/rocky, and definetly worth checking out at least, http://theladysails.blogspot.com/

I first came across Viking Moses listening to the Domino Records Radio Show on East Viilage Radio http://www.eastvillageradio.com/modules.php?name=evrshow&showid=102 ... the same show was the first time I heard Fleet Foxes, who I saw live in Leeds recently (who were, just that frickin great). Hopefully VM will play northern UK (if not Leeds)... :D
