Moon Hooch

at The Independent (9pm)
Moon Hooch with Cloudchord

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.

~~~~~~~~

Moon Hooch captured the imaginations of thousands with its infamous stints busking on subway platforms and elsewhere in New York City: two sax players and a drummer whipping up furious, impromptu raves. This happened with such regularity at the Bedford Ave station in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that the band was banned from playing there by the NYPD.
