That is excellent; though it does give me sympathetic ear ache. Seeing their cheeks bulging reminds me of inflating balloons, which I have given up doing, as it really does a number on the tubes in my ears,
Knew who it was right after reading the title. Have seen Moon Hooch a number of years ago and my oldest who was in high school and a sax player at the time was just blown away. The band members were really nice and chatted with us a bit afterwards.
This is one of the original Tiny Desk staples.
I saw Moon Hooch in concert a few years back (opening act for They Might Be Giants). When they walked out with just two saxophones, the audience kinda groaned. After they finished their first song, the audience erupted! Absolutely brilliant performance!
It is certainly different from the classic rock and roll line up of Hurdy-gurdy, Musical Saw, Cimbalom and Spoons.
Best comment under the YouTube video:
Every band should have a VLC player.
I love them! It’s got Bonzo Dog type vibes, but with a more modern sensibility.
Their energy level in concert is just astonishing. Nonstop high energy and they keep the pace up for like an hour and a half. I was exhausted just watching them!! What fun
