MOONBEAN is a queer electronic duo from Ontario, blending psychedelic electronica with acid-house, synth-pop, techno, and disco. Their live hardware synth sets feature lush vocals and punk energy, with lyrics about identity, inclusivity, and community.

From the Moonbean’s website:

MOONBEAN is a Toronto-based electronic duo who lace their live, synth hardware set with lush vocals. Their experimental electronica weaves in psychedelia, acid-house, techno, and disco, while their performance style harkens to a punk aesthetic.

Speaking to self-expression and community their lyrics weave mantras to empower their audience. Although their music is electronic, MOONBEAN plays an all-live hardware set which leaves room for improvisation and audience engagement.

Their musical inspirations align with Nine Inch Nails, Peaches, Ladytron, and Eurythmics. MOONBEAN’s music is innovative in the way that it tricks you into feeling something nostalgic but by the end of the show, you realize it is unlike anything you’ve heard before. Highlights from 2024 include headlining Hillside Festival, Rainbow Trout Music Festival and playing Pride festivals and events in Toronto, Vancouver, Squamish, Kelowna and Owen Sound.
