Deli NE: How did the band start?
Moniker: As a project, Moniker has been in the works since late 2008, when Socrates moved back to Boston after living in New York City for a while, but the current line-up is only a little over a year old. Luke and Socrates met at one of the very first Wadzilla Mansion shows in early 2010, just as the band was in the hunt for a new bassist. Peter ended up finding an ad on Craigslist looking for a fill-in drummer, and joined the band full-time soon after. At the time, Allston was re-paving the streets outside the house, and being from New York Peter really didn’t have much of an idea about which areas of Boston were safe. So he’s driving up this strange place with the street looking like a war zone, thinking he’s going to get killed… that was last summer, and he has yet to find out whether that’s bound to happen or not.
