The Moonbugs, a DIY shoegaze and post-punk band from Oak Hill, Virginia, were interviewed ahead of their performance at the inaugural Telepathic Windows Festival. The five-piece outfit—featuring Ryan, Anthony, Aldene, Loyd, and Carlo—creates guitar-driven music blending psychedelia with hypnotic basslines and spacious production reminiscent of 1980s post-punk and early shoegaze acts like Slowdive and Ride. The band, formed around 2004 in the DC music scene, records independently using iPhone and GarageBand alongside other digital tools. They recommend listeners start with tracks “Ends Well,” “What Tomorrow Holds,” and “Hoy.” The Moonbugs highlight their 2019 Fort Reno performance as a career milestone and express interest in recording new material and touring. Telepathic Windows Festival, Washington DC’s first dedicated shoegaze and dream pop event, takes place June 20, 2026, at DC Brau, offering presale tickets at $22.
