Moon Palace Bio: Moon Palace is a five piece Seattle band with sounds inspired by vast landscapes and the invisible forces that bring us together. The band formed in 2016 and consists of twin sisters Cat Biell (guitar, vocals) and Carrie Biell (bass, vocals). Alina Santillan plays guitar, vocals, and trumpet while Darcey Zoller plays cello and Jude Miqueli is on drums. Moon Palace songs are dominated by the use of vocal harmonies and haunting guitar melodies. Seattle has embraced the dawn of Moon Palace with a feature in CityArts Magazine and their song “Shapeshifter” received KEXP Song of the Day. Moon Palace has played venues in Seattle such as Neumos, Chop Suey, The Sunset Tavern, Repair Revolution, Barboza, and The Royal Room.
