Ths band from Brooklyn comes with a fascinating history, as the band members began their musical journey playing in New York's subway stations. 

They were quickly picked up and are now touring extensively on big stages around the world. With an unusual crew composed of drums and two saxophones, they play an amazing combination of acoustic and electronic music and with that they give acoustic music one dance function and fill the dance floors!  

Rare, but refreashing! The music has "catchy melodic hooks, funky rhythms, but also plenty of room for jazzy improvisations", writes the New York Post. They released their first album in 2013. Cave Music, their second album was released in 2014 and in October same year they released Red Sky to fantastic reviews. The drums have an intense drive with great variety and intense swing, and saxophones reminiscent of dubstep a la Skrillex, drum & bass and house music. 

John Flansburg of They Might Be Giants says, "There isn't a band harder to describe or easier to enjoy than Moon Hooch!"

We absolutely agree!
