It's Not a Rumour

...Bob Cavallo (Manager of Prince, Lovin' Spoonful) Frederick "Freddy" Moore is a prolific lead singer/songwriter/guitarist known for founding rock bands such as Minneapolis-based Skogie and the Flaming Pachucos in the 1960’s and setting attendance records at legendary Los Angeles clubs such as Whiskey a Go-Go, Starwood and The Troubadour with his trailblazing “power pop” band The Kats / Nu Kats in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Freddy has written 1,000 songs from anywhere he happens to be: basement bedrooms, lying on top of pool tables or mid-moped crashes. Published records include Skogie’s "Call Me Crazy" produced in 1972 by North Country Music and "The Butler Did It," produced by Mill City Records in 1973. Albums and EP’s include Skogie’s "There’s a String Attached to Almost Everything We Do," produced by General Records in 1974, The Nu Kats’ "Plastic Facts" EP, produced by Rhino Records in 1980, Boy’s "Boy Next Door" EP, produced by Radioactive Records in 1983, The Kat Club’s "House Combinations," produced by General Records in 1997, "Source Mississippi," produced by General Records in 2001, and "Los Angelenos," produced by General Records in 2007. The Kats and Nu Kats’ music have been spotlighted on Rhino Records’ compilation album called "L.A. In," in 1979 and "Yes Nukes" in 1981. The Kats’ hits, "It’s Not a Rumour," as well as "Lost My TV Guide," were featured on the television show Hollywood Heartbeat hosted by Fleetwood Mac’s Bob Welch, MTV and had local radio play. His songs have appeared on movie soundtracks such as the 1982 cult horror film "Parasite" (in which he also co-starred as nerdy teenager Arn, with then wife Demi Moore), the 1985 movie "Loose Screws II" and "Spring Fever," and the 2013 CW series "The Carrie Diaries." Freddy has been featured in music magazines, showcases, and local radio shows including "SpinBridge," interviews with Che Zuro and "LA Radio Sessions." Freddy’s additional filmography includes being featured in United Artists Pictures’ experimental 70mm 3D film called "I’m a Kat" in 1979, and the music video "It’s Not a Rumour" featuring Demi Moore and renowned cinematographer Jan de Bont, directed by Philip Brewin Cheney. Freddy lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and love of his life for over 30 years, Renee, where he's fighting early-onset Alzheimer's. He continues to live like Wile E. Coyote, getting knocked down by anvils and popping back up.
