Rusty Moe

Rusty Moe is a classic rock/funk band from Chennai, India. They have been active with the present name since 2008 and have played in and around Chennai.

The band has been together under different names since 1997. The present line-up consists of Aakash Jacob (vocals), Timmy Elliot (guitar), Jonathan Tillich (bass guitar), Kevin P (keyboard) and Divyan George (drums). They are currently working on their first album, Dirty Machine, due to be released in mid-2014. They have undergone a few line-up changes over the last few years but the core members have remained the same throughout.

Jacob, who is also a member of Chennai band Subject to Change, was hired as the new singer and the band immediately set about replacing all the old vocal tracks. During this process, the band also self-produced their first music video for their first single, "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am". The band hopes to have ten to twelve tracks ready for the album which will be a mix of funk and classic rock.

Last Christmas, the band was the first in India to release a Christmas single. They recorded their version of the "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree" which received a huge response from fans and others. With Jacob, the band released their second Christmas single in December 2011. It was a version of "Silver Bells" which was once again well received by fans.
