History
Moonstruck began its journey in 2000 when Amit
'lead vocals & lead guitars' posted at INS
Shivaji Lonavala assembled a five piece band
with Billy 'keyboards', Lacunza 'rhythm
guitars', Nelson 'bass' and Varun 'drums'. The
band kicked off initially specialising in covers
of the Doors & Jim Morrison but this was
followed by rapid line-up changes in the band
impacting it's sound with every change. Nelson
departed giving way to Arbor 'bass' and so did
Billy resulting in a quartet. A transfer to
Mumbai for Amit left Moonstruck as a three piece
outfit with Lacunza taking over as lead vocals
and guitars until Steward came along to complete
the sound on rhythm guitars and backing vocals.

The latest
line-up is as follows:-
Lacunza (Lead Vocals &
Guitars) : Having played for an explosive
rock ensemble 'Lunatic Angels' back home in
Shillong, this guitar freak has enthralled large
crowds at Mood Indigo over the years.
Arbor (Bass & Backing Vocals) : This
rapping bass player can really groove!
Varun (Drums & Backing Vocals) : Watch
out for this prodigy who has already brought
down the house with bands like Cryptic Blues,
Wishful Thinking and Almost Musicians!
Neil (Guitars) : He's cool, he's composed
but he sure can kick it in when it comes to
riffing and shredding lead, he's none other than
the latest addition to the band!

The Sound
With each musician influenced by
highly varied forms of music, it's difficult to
classify Moonstruck's
sound. The band has a new age sound which mixes
groove, melody, harmony and energy in amounts
which would generally appeal to seasoned
'rockers'. The band is currently focusing on
composing and recording their own music. The
live act is a combination of both originals as
well as covers that range from legendary bands
like Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, Extreme as well as
newer bands like Puddle of Mudd, Creed,
Hoobastank & Nickelback to name a few. With the
great response received for originals like "One
God", "Alone Again" and "Faceless", Moonstruck
hopes to phase out covers as time progresses and
audiences are more appreciative towards original
music.
