The Maltese Band Winter Moods

Winter Moods was formed in 1980s. Two young musicians, bassist Joseph Rizzo and guitarist Steve Caruana Smith were due band that were in search for a vocalist. Then they added a friends that was still in his teens, Ivan Grech. They preferred music over everything. They used to meet up frequently in a garage in Senglea on cold grey days to put together their own original songs. Thus the mood, thus the name of the band – Winter Moods.
