Who are (were) the Sun and the Moon?
The Sun and the Moon were Mark, John, Andy Clegg and Andy Whitaker, with both Andy’s on guitars. The group formed out a friendship between Mark and Andy Clegg who had played keyboards with the Chameleons. The two Andy’s had been working together on a project (see next question) when Mark decided to recruit them for a new band. The band recorded an album, “The Sun and the Moon” and an EP, “Alive; not Dead”, which included a cover of Alice Cooper’s ‘Elected,’ a song which the Chameleons sometimes covered during their live shows. The setup of the band, two ex-Chameleons playing with two guitarists, begged comparison to the Chameleons, though the band tried to develop its own sound. The Sun & The Moon broke up in April 1989.
