History

While attending Cascade High School in Everett Washington, Kevin Murphy started a punk rock outfit called the Familiars with drummer Jon Pontrello, bassist David Brown (later replaced by Robert Terreberry), and singer Jon Parks. The group gained a small following playing around Seattle while still in their late teens. Shortly before the band dissolved, Murphy began collaborating and writing with Caleb Quick. The two began performing live while living in Bellingham, Washington. Murphy lived briefly in Ketchikan, Alaska before returning to Everett and starting The Moondoggies. Drummer Carl Dahlen had no previous drum training before joining the band. The band released their debut album Don't Be A Stranger on August 19, 2008. Backup vocalist Nicholas Davis parted ways with the band shortly before their debut album release. The album received favorable reviews from NPR Music, KEXP, and Aquarium Drunkard.

In November 2009 the band began recording their sophomore album Tidelands with producer Erik Blood. Phil Ek, notable for his albums with the Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, and Built To Spill, came on board to help mix as well as produce the first single "Empress of the North".

In October 2010, the band was featured as Relix Magazine's "On The Verge" artist.

On December 7, 2010 their single "What Took So Long" was NPR Music's "Song of the Day".

In January 2011, longtime friend, collaborator, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Pontrello joined the group.

On August 13, 2013 the band released their third full-length album, "Adiós I'm a Ghost"
