Rock Monsters Romania

On May 12, Walking To The Moon takes the stage at Control Club, inviting audiences into a soundscape where folklore, groove, and theatrical energy collide.

What would Vlad Țepeș listen to after Sunday service? Perhaps something between a midnight sermon and a basement dance party: Dracula-Funk, best enjoyed with a glass of red wine in hand.

Emerging from Bucharest’s alternative music scene, Walking to the Moon has built a sound that resists easy categorization. The band blends elements of alternative rock with funk, jazz, ska, and subtle electronic textures, creating a genre-bending style they jokingly label Dracula-Funk, a fitting description for music that feels equally rooted in local folklore and late night groove.

Their compositions shift effortlessly between rhythmic tension and release, moving through layered arrangements, unexpected transitions, and bursts of improvisational energy. Drawing inspiration from Balkan musical traditions, Romanian mythology, and broader contemporary influences, Walking to the Moon creates songs that feel both familiar and strangely cinematic.

On stage, the band transforms these influences into a performance that goes beyond a standard live set. Their concerts lean into atmosphere as much as sound, part alternative rock show, part ritualistic gathering, with an undercurrent of humor and unpredictability that keeps audiences engaged from start to finish.

Attendees can expect hypnotic basslines, playful rhythmic detours, and melodies that alternate between moody introspection and explosive release. Side effects may include involuntary head movement, spontaneous dancing, and the temporary abandonment of dignity on the dance floor.

Walking To The Moon offers a live experience that is immersive, energetic, and unmistakably Bucharest, where gothic imagination meets funk driven chaos. Tickets are available only at the entrance for 30 RON.
