Moon Hooch began busking in the subway platforms of NYC in 2010, quickly getting noticed by the NYPD, who had to ban them from locations that couldn’t handle the crowds. In a few short years they were opening for the likes of Beats Antique, They Might Be Giants, and Lotus, while selling out their own headline shows at marquee venues around the United States and Europe. Their unconventional sound and techniques, utilizing found objects like traffic cones, landed them appearances on NPR’s Tiny Desk in America, “Later…with Jools Holland” in the UK, “Hamish & Andy’s Gap Year” in Australia, and private audiences with the Premier League’s Chelsea F.C. They are currently touring the world.
“‘Red Sky’ is Moon Hooch’s third album, and it’s mighty. The sound of the saxes feels new, vibrant and essential, the way great rock guitarists paved a path redefining the instrument in the 1960s. And this stuff is serious fun.” – NPR MUSIC
“…this successful third foray into the studio finds Moon Hooch with only one objective: ‘Let’s dance!'” – CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
“…they sound like music from another planet, one where James Chance battles Ornette Coleman in an epic jam session.” – THE BIG TAKEOVER
“[Moon Hooch] is a mix of high theatre and intense improvisation operating without a safety net.” – LONDON GUARDIAN
“Nothing recorded could prepare you for the sheer visceral energy of their live sound.” – LONDON JAZZ NEWS
“Let no one say DJs dominate the party scene with these guys writing certified bangers with boundless funky adrenaline.” – RIFF MAGAZINE
“Moon Hooch reconnect jazz with the dance music of their generation with total commitment, musical virtuosity, wall-to-wall grooves–and a good time.” – LONDON JAZZ NEWS
“…recreated something like a noir landscape from an ’80s movie over the techno beats and dirty bass of a 21st century scene — it was an odd timewarp produced by musicians who seemed too young to fully grasp the genius of the weird tapestry they were creating.” – LITTLE VILLAGE MAGAZINE
“The band introduced the heart and rage and passion and synergy of the human race pulsing and throbbing in harmony with an expansive sound that insistently led onward and forward.” – LITTLE VILLAGE MAGAZINE
