MI Local: The legacy of David Lynch with Moon Club; new music from Strange Witch, Same Eyes + more
David Lynch is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time, and I know I’m not alone in that regard. In fact, WDET’s own Amanda LeClaire joined me in studio, along with musician/artist Renee Willoughby to discuss the late director whose name has been adapted into its own aesthetic adjective, because they’ve organized a multifaceted tribute show, happening at The Ghost Light in Hamtramck this Friday night!
Together, LeClaire and Willoughby perform as Moon Club, a composite of ambient music, performance art and divination. They both joined me in studio this week to talk about that project, as well as “Got A Light: A Tribute to David Lynch,” which is a celebration of the strange and beautiful world of “Twin Peaks” and beyond!
The evening features live music by Moon Club, Matt Conzett, and Gwen Dot, along with poetry readings by Kels Drivinski. Ian Wolyniec and plenty of coffee and donuts for sale by Matron Saint and Imaginatron will also provide dream interpretations! LeClaire and Willoughby added that attendees are highly encouraged to come in costume as their favorite David Lynch character, be it The Log Lady or maybe one of the three characters played by Laura Dern across Lynch’s oeuvre.
Moon Club formed in October of 2023, and has made appearances at WDET events, such as The Rock n’ Roll Horror Show (hosted by Modern Music‘s Jon Moshier). LeClaire and Willoughby shared the origins of Moon Club, connecting back to both a “wizard” in Port Huron, with a fateful series of prophetic dreams involving David Bowie. We also spoke, with quite a spellbound energy, about the inimitable artistic aura of Mr. David Lynch.
