It was in 1986, on the Pursuit of Happiness’s breakthrough hit I’m An Adult Now, that Moe Berg sardonically sang that he “couldn’t take too much loud music.” We didn’t believe him then, and now that he’s 58 years old, we still don’t. He was recently spotted at a show at Velvet Underground by punk survivors Dag Nasty and he’s currently part of the power-pop supergroup the TransCanada Highwaymen, with Chris Murphy (Sloan), Steven Page (Barenaked Ladies) and Craig Northey (Odds). On June 2, a live Pursuit of Happiness radio taping from the early 1990s will be released as part of an anthology, the Braves New Waves Sessions. In the meantime, Berg lets us know what else has him turning it up to 11 these days.
What he’s listening to: “I’m enjoying the new side project by my bandmate in the TransCanada Highwaymen, Sloan’s Chris Murphy. It’s called TUNS, and it’s an East Coast supergroup he has with Matt Murphy from the Flashing Lights and Mike O’Neill from the Inbreds. Fans of great melodies and singing will love the band’s self-titled debut from a year ago.”
