Moon lands at Caledonia Lounge on Wednesday

John Lambremont and the rest of the members of We Landed on the Moon are keeping a good 20-mile buffer between themselves and the Snowmageddon of 2010 as they make their way around the country on their first tour of the year. The five-piece band from Baton Rouge , La., is out in support of its forthcoming record, "This Will Be One for the Books."
