Why was youtube hiding this gem from me for so long this is an absolute blast!

Back after 8 years. Still on my top 5 favorite KZfaq videos I’ve ever seen. Man she fits the song so well.

Moon Hooch, Alena is made for your band, you together are something incredible. Please make more tunes together.

i wish there was more Moon Hooch stuff available with Alena singing. She's really good (obviously the band is amazing as well) - I can't get enough of this song!

MOON HOCH - Contra, featuring a couple doing their thing, a man that has no place in his heart for anything but the contrabass, and an acid drummer that has attained the ultimate state of meth zen. A grand modern masterpiece.

The fact that they make dubstep sounding breakdowns, live, with a goddamn sax with a paper tube in it, is enough to blow my mind

Moon hooch is Dope.

im 40 now... I just suddenly remembered this song today... Heard it first time when i was 30 years old, blasted it every time when i was partying, oh the memories. Sounds just as good today, oh man, here we go again ;)

Lyrics Electric feeling, destructive healing open the gates to find the secret Body’s teaming, I can’t stop dreaming, I keep my eyes closed, it feels so crazy Electric feeling, destructive healing open the gates to find the secret Body’s teaming, I can’t stop dreaming, I keep my eyes closed, it feels so crazy Vivid crystalline, prickle in the skin. Chaos twinkling- find the secret Vivid crystalline, prickle in the skin. Chaos twinkling- find the secret Vivid crystalline, prickle in the skin. Chaos twinkling- find the secret Vivid crystalline, prickle in the skin. Chaos twinkling- find the secret Sit back and give your eyes to the sky. Transform clouds with your mind as they fly by. Time is yours and you cannot be late Free yourself, give your conscience away Sit back and give your eyes to the sky. Transform clouds with your mind as they fly by. Time is yours and you cannot be late Free yourself, give your conscience away

That toooone on the contra! The best way I can describe it is that it sounds like a massive redwood tree.

Her vocals rounds this band out so well IMO

The part where they're almost duet-ing between vocals and sax is so cute.

I can picture this being played in some movie one day.

I absolutly love this. The vocals are brilliant and these guys play like their three brains are wired together. The camera work and editing gives you a taste of how moving their live performances are. Keep bringing it Moon Hooch !

When mike and alena are looking at each other you can see mike smiling while playing and it makes me happy

This song I ve discovered 10 years laters is just WHAAOU. Moon hooch incredible musicians and performers.

Took my 9 year old son to see TMBG and Moon Hooch opened for them. The family walked away Moon Hooch heads. We immediately went home and bought the album and he played Contra and #9 for his friends at school. Great to hear an opening band with a sound I've never heard before and I really enjoyed. The vocals on this song were a fantastic add.

Did something very similar (w/out my kid) at the Indianapolis show, but bought the CD before leaving the show. They guys were happy to sign it for me and I've been listening ever since...huge Hooch-head now! ...totally original sound with TONS of positive energy! I LOVE IT!

I still come to listen to this almost every week . Even if you might not be "proud" of it anymore (I'm guessing that's why you moved it to unlisted) , know that there are still people who appreciate your lesser work ^^

Tubes!!! You guys are the Rush of Tubes!! Rush GREATEST rock band ever. You guys fn rock!! I'm 50yrs old cant stop listening!! Wont you plz make more tunes with this chick..she is to good ....and HOTT!!!

Great mix, I thoroughly enjoyed this tune, she definitely adds another dimension.

This is my first time hearing Moon Hooch, and it's FANTASTIC. Everything works together so well, and that is not something I thought I'd ever say about an arrangement that includes two saxophones. Eleven more tracks, and you've got a record I'd buy.

2:45 to 3:00 is absolute magic!

It's a certified BOP! Oh dam, it's 11 years old, almost 12! Old wreckroom too. Maaaan, nostalgia

Was backstage with these blokes in New Orleans and gotta say what a lively fun bunch they are!

Fantastic! Best new music I've heard all year.

This confirms it...I'm now full on in love with that singer. Thanks a lot Moon Hooch...

Alena Spanger - thanks.. :)) beautiful voice..

been following yall since the subway days glad yall movin up

Outstanding originality. Love this band

Found this! Soo looking forward to seeing you guys at High Sierra Music Festival 2014!

Wow, this girl Moon has a really great voice!

So much powerfull... Love it

Interesting sound....love the saxes.

I almost forgot what I was watching and starting moshing at that breakdown...

I've played rhythm tenor all my life, bari too, but my hat is off to all of you.. Loved that circular breathing 4:14.

I absolutly love Moon Hooch and I'm a big fan of instrumental music but this girl vocalist fit perfectly. Great song!

I can't get enough of this band. best new shit I've heard in years.

Love it. Wicked tune

Unique vibe for sure. Anyone who is diverse in music should completely love this sound. It is enriching and moving, albeit rather loud at times i find it important for the vibe. Well done.

who in the world would hate on this vocalist? shes helping them expand their music in such a beautiful way

3:16 This fingerwork is outstanding. Good job Mike Wilbur.

Love the parts where she doesn't double the sax line melodically. Love you guys!!

Hey dudes, saw you at House of Blues last night. Ya'll were incredible... I look forward to the day that ya'll are the one filling the venue. I'll definitely come back when the time comes.

this is hands down the best thing i have ever heard ..... damn

First time I've ever heard this band. The vocalist perfected this song for me. So I'm laughing at all the haters. I was loving this and normally don't care for this kind of sound. Pure talent.

Great and Excellent. I LOVE IT.

wow blew me away they are great, fresh. she is awesome. THEY MAY NOT NEED HER BUT SHE MAKES THEM BETTER! Time to get more is there more with her?

I smashed the like button to pieces 18 seconds into this song.

Amazing tune 1👍👍👍👍👍

We had a "record panel" at our preschool, where we had chosen a few songs for kids to vote. This song won the hearts of our mostly female kid judges. Kids are awesome and so are you!

Is there an arrangement of this I could find anywhere?

really great, (insert big smile here) I need to get into the subway more often!

This is great, she's a great singer and the band is solid.

That was excellent. Thank you!

Where did this come from?? It's awesome!! What do they mean it's "unlisted"? And why would it be considered inconsiderate to share it?

Muito, muito bom, excelente, do melhor!!!

This one still gets me every single damned time! :D

It's so weird having moon hooch with vocals, but it's good. And I mean it's moon hooch, if it wasn't weird it wouldn't be moon hooch

Yea dude both of the bands were incredible, I loved how much TMBG incorporated the audience into the show

Just saw these guys in Birmingham. They had nowhere to stay so they stayed at my house. They're amazing musicians and just amazing people in general.

Simple mind blowing!!! How can i call all this awesomeness??!! Prog, tech, acid jazz o.O

Very unique, I like it. Always thought of how bass sax would sound in pop music. Thanks for sharing

Vocals definitely made it for me.

awesome...

you guys rock my world i really hope you guy's make it big.

who´s the girls?, where is she singing (band or solo)?

The best thing about Moon Hooch is...they can do whatever they want!! keep it up

Saw them open for TMBG on Saturday, they were flawless!!

my ears dont know what is happening but its so goddamn addicting

James actually doesnt look high in this, good for you!

The recording sounds great!

Awesome guys!

Jimmy, i was at that show!! TMBG ROCKED AND SO DID THESE GUYS

I love the beat ! :)

Need more of this

WOW! Bravo!

amazing song,

Great!!!

Ehhh, I actually agree with him. I LOVE Moon hooch but compared to more classic jazz there is a lot less going on. That being said I think moon hooch has perfected the "make you want to dance" style of music and I love it.

cool voice nice sound

That dude can play some awesome funky sax. They should totes come by Queens

Moon Hooch is good how they usually are with just the three instrumentalists. However, the vocalist really takes them to the next level.

love the look they give each other at 1:40

Met these guys at stubbs in austin while working on the sound that night, really cool guys.

This is magnificent.

I love this song

It hurts that this doesn't have more views.

Love jamming out to these guys on the L platform! Castlebraid Heros!

A instrument, who doing a bass is .... Please tell me, i don't know

Help me out, is that a contrabass sax?

Can we talk about the crazy drum set that dude was playing? He got some pretty neat industrial sounds out of that thing.

Was the vocalist originally in the band? It doesn't say Featuring?

Weird heavy metal lyrics with goth rhythm style. Horn duo, math rock drums with indy tone. I want this song as an album.

This is crazy good. My hat is off to you fellows.

Wow! That's a blast!

In love w the sax player

Like the vocals and the instrumental play, the vocalist is pretty too :D

A thousand times YES!!!!!!

damn its still sounds great!
