}}Moon Hooch is an American band from Brooklyn, New York, known for their dance-oriented percussion- and saxophone-based music. The band is a trio consisting of drummer James Muschler and saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen. The band members met while attending The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and got their start busking in New York City Subway stations.[1][2][3]

Their self-titled debut album was released in 2013 and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.[4] Their second album This Is Cave Music was released on September 16, 2014.[5] and reached number 5 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.[6]

History

Early years

The band first started busking in 2010, playing in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The band started out playing mostly jazz, but then moved to dance music after a better audience reception. Later, they decided to busk in the New York City Subway. In the process they were banned from the Bedford station stop by the NYPD, who tried to prevent people from dancing on the platform edge.[7] In 2011 they appeared as the house band on the Australian TV series Hamish and Andy's Gap Year where they were re-christened "The Busketeers".[8] Their album artwork is designed by Ari Michael Warner.

2013–2015

After gaining a reputation from busking, Moon Hooch started to release albums, beginning with their self-titled debut on June 25, 2013. It was recorded in a 24-hour period at Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, and most of the copies were sold while the band was still busking.[9] Their second album, This is Cave Music, was released on September 16, 2014 and was the first to use synthesizers, post-production work, and vocals. It received positive reviews, and many reviewers commented on the band's unique style.[10] Their next album, Red Sky, would continue to use the same elements pioneered in This is Cave Music. Moon Hooch has been influential in the “brass house” genre, as well as pushing the boundaries of jazz. [11]

2016–present

The band's second EP, following 2017's The Joshua Tree, was released on April 6, 2018, via Hornblow Recordings. The short three track EP was announced alongside the video for the first single of the album, "Acid Mountain."[12]

Philosophy

The band believes deeply in environmental causes. They are strongly passionate about environmentalism and sustainable living, and use their influence to share this philosophy with others. As such, they run a cooking blog, "Cooking in the Cave," in an effort to promote a vegan diet,[13] and have played as part of an exhibition titled, "The Value of Food: Sustaining a Green Planet".[14] In 2017, they announced that the band would be carbon neutral. Along with environmental activism, the band is also united in their practice of meditation. They say that it helps to give them focus, something they value in their work. The band also believes that meditation has allowed them to become better people.[15]
