Shotty is an epic synth rock band that formed in Seattle, WA when highschool dropout Pat Moon teamed up with his nextdoor neighbor Miles Frank. After years of prolific songwriting and decidedly mosh-worthy performances around the greater Seattle area, Shotty relocated to Los Angeles.
Having recently joined forces with Grammy award-winning producer Joe Nicolo (The Fugees, Cypress Hill), SMN Records, and So, Let’s Talk on a series of releases for 2025, Shotty is continuing their quest to capture vivid videogame nerd-angst imagery, and bottle it up into bite-sized energy driven fuzzy anthems.
Having played hundreds of shows, Shotty sings from the heart, celebrating all things nerdy and triumphant. They beckon the listener to shed their worries and join Shotty on a quest into the unknown. They’ve released a series of nostalgic video game and TV cover songs ranging from Mario to SpongeBob Squarepants, including a Donkey Kong Country mashup recorded at Bam Margera’s studio. They’ve performed alongside such nerd legends as Jason Paige (singer of the original Pokemon theme) and David Wise (composer for Donkey Kong).
The Shotty boys are also performing members of the time-travelling 80’s band The Flux Capacitors.

“Hearkening to 90s alternative power pop with modern electro-synth flair. An upbeat blend of fuzzy, ’90s-style alternative rock with sputtering beats and synths. The songs are super catchy, loaded with distortion and frequently just on the borderline of grunge.” – Circuit Sweet UK
“These songs aim to capture vivid videogame nerd-angst imagery and bottle it up into bite-sized energy driven fuzzy rock n’ pop anthems.” – Northern Transmissions
“The Seattle-bred band combines elements of synth-pop with a classic rock influence to create a single that makes the listener feel like the main character of a funky, upbeat video game.” – Culture Collide
“a great song for listening to while driving around with the windows down. It’s heavy on the dance-pop energy while sticking true to shotty’s hard rock sound that the duo describes as a cross between Queen and Queens of the Stone Age.” – Riff Magazine
