Bruce Moreland grew up in West Covina California, playing in glam rock bands with his brother Marc before diving into LA’s punk scene in the late ’70s. He hung around The Masque, played bass for The Weirdos, and co-founded Wall of Voodoo, recording on most of their albums between stints in and out of the band.
He later formed Black Cherry, played with Nervous Gender, and co-wrote a track for Concrete Blonde. After Marc’s death, he started Ravens Moreland, shifting to vocals and guitar.
