Roosevelt will be playing Friday, October 6th at the Showbox at the Market! - iamroosevelt.bandcamp.com
Kevin Cole selected this track as KEXP Song of the Day in July - Roosevelt said: "'Luna' started as a jam with a bass line two years ago — it was laying on my hard drive already when doing my last album Polydans and it never really developed into a song," he explains in a press statement. "I’ve reconnected with some of my old equipment and a stripped down setup in the last months and finally made it work, turning it into a funk driven dance track." tinyurl.com
This collaboration between former LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney and Dennis McNany was KEXP's song of the day in 2014. Dennis shared that “Pat’s a sculptor, I’m a painter, we make music and museums are sacred spaces and love is an elusive thing.”

The Canadian music blog My Life in Music Lists called this one of the best 100 covers ever: "Their version is bigger, brasher, and faster. The arrangements are the same but the sound is completely different. There are noisy guitars and heavy-footed bass drumming, and Dee Dee’s vocals are exuberant and thrilling in the pure emotion created by fresh love."
