  • Description

    The reaction is instantaneous. It doesn''t even matter when they''re the opening act no one in the room has heard before -- as soon as Moon Hooch starts playing, it''s as if the room becomes a living, surging, pulsing thing. They call it "cave music": like house music, but more primitive and jagged and raw. But there are no DJs or laptops here -- just one drum kit and two saxophones.

    They recorded their self-titled debut album at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn in the space of one 24-hour period in June 2011. Their fanatical rehearsal regimen and hours-long busking sessions had prepared them well; most of the 13 songs were recorded in a single take. Previously only available direct from the band at a gig €" in addition to their relentless busking in the NYC subways, the band has toured America extensively opening for the likes of Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing, Galactic, Lotus, and They Might Be Giants - Moon Hooch''s album will finally get wider distribution this summer when it''s re-released by Hornblow Recordings/Megaforce Records, with a new song added for good measure.

    Moon Hooch has a mission statement: "As a band, we strive to use the universal power of music to inspire connection between people, to influence a sustainable culture in which basic human needs are met, and to contribute to the organification of all aspects of our lives € .
