About:
Moon Hooch create what they like to call Cave Music. It's like House, but its more wild, more jagged, more free, more natural to live in.
From busking on the New York Subway to supporting They Might Be Giants, Moon Hooch’s thunderous tech-jazz log-jammed the streets with their 'hit-and-run skronking antics' (Louder then War) before ramming their first London club gig last year. The word is out on this two-saxophone and drums trio - a feisty take on minimalist techno, house and dubstep that guarantees dancefloor action.
