Moon Hooch: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Рет қаралды 5,317,233
10 жыл бұрынPeople ask me all the time to name my favorite Tiny Desk Concert. It's my desk and I've seen almost all of the nearly 400 concerts up close. So you'd think this would be easy. Moon Hooch have made it a lot easier.
Up there with the ear-shaking voice of Adele, the desk dancing of Gogol Bordello, the stripped down version of Phoenix - not to mention magic moments with Alt-J, Angel Olsen and Lucius and more - Moon Hooch blew me away with just two saxes and a drummer. Their music is a mix of the best jazz, EDM and rock have to offer. It's out there, it's danceable and you may find yourself feeling a sense of reckless abandon!
The band is saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen, and drummer James Muschler. They all studied in New York at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and every single moment of every song I've ever seen them perform has been full throttle. They call their music "cave music," taking the best elements of electronica - the brutal stops, starts and shifts - and performing those unnaturally precise hairpin turns organically by blowing on horns and banging on drums. This for the boldness in all of us. Embrace Moon Hooch. --BOB BOILEN

The drummer hypnotized two highschool band geeks and turned them into music slaves. upon a key word, uttered over the phone, the two sax players leave their homes and walk days until they reach the show and play non-stop until the drummer sends them back. They have no idea they even play saxophone still, and neither do their families.

Only other saxophone players will realize how difficult it is to play something like this. Notice how the left tenor play player has to breathe a huge amount after only playing a few notes. Also, playing that high on tenor as the guy on the right does with that much control is almost impossible. P.S. I want some of whatever that drummer's been doing.

+Tim P. G I know right? This makes me want to break mine out and get back to it haha. He just flawlessly hops in and out of altissimo, throws growls on high register, and rips through scales. And the Bari/Cone player must have incredible lung capacity, because I've tried to do the cone in tenor thing, and it takes way more air than I can supply haha. Especially to still play in tune

I don't know how this popped up on my feed so randomly years later, but this band is by far the best NYC subway band ever. I've never seen so many people consistently break into dancing on a subway platform as have with them. Didn't matter the time of day, but was especially helpful on the exhausting commute home from work to get a bolt of their energy.
