Los Angeles based musician Charles Moothart (Fuzz, Goggs, Freedom Band) released previous solo work under the moniker CFM. Now working under his full name, as change is the only universal truth, Moothart's latest album Black Holes Don't Choke (out now on In The Red) is made up of "love songs for the apocalypse." It is his most self-assured solo release to date. Heavy riffs alternating with spacious tunes, and a live set that vacillates from fast and loose to groovy and heady. Moothart is now touring with a live band comprised of 4 veterans of the Los Angeles music scene with too many credentials to list. This lineup brings a new sense of dynamic while holding on to grit and drive. All of these factors crack open a new chapter for the Californian multi-instrumentalist.

Line Up

Charles Moothart & The Fast Band

Formed in Glasgow late 2018 by Eva Gnatiuk (Las Mitras), with Simon Shaw (Trembling Bells / Lucky Luke), and spoken word performer, Lisa Jones. In 2019 Chas Lalli (Vom / Bad Aura) and Julian Dicken (formerly of Cosmic Dead) completed the line-up. In 2022, Stephan Mors (Owsley Sunshine) replaced Dicken on drums. Dragged Up combine Gnatiuk’s trashy lyrics and unholy guitar, with narratives in comic disappointment from Jones, Shaw’s post-Velvets/NYDolls guitar, Lalli’s plutonium-heavy bass and Mors' expansive drums.
