Moon Hooch has taken busking from the subways of New York to the Wreckroom. Rumor has it that they're banned from the Bedford subway stop for inciting too many platform dance parties. How they got hipsters to dance is a feat, manifested in this song Contra, conjuring a hint of The Rapture, with a dash of John Coltrane. Say What!?! Passion for music and belief in each other is what has motivated this high intensity group of free spirits to fuck the system and create music as radical and open as some of their lifestyle choices.

Why was youtube hiding this gem from me for so long this is an absolute blast!
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!
Yeah, this is almost a new genre. Defiantly want more of whatever this is.
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 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.
Moon Hooch, Alena is made for your band, you together are something incredible. Please make more tunes together.
So they choose to do the completely oposite thing
@@todolobuenox_o6247 😔😔😢
Hold on i thing there is one more song they did with her, but i dont remember by the moment, i have to work i tell about it later
@@todolobuenox_o6247 Yeah there was one. You can find it if you use one of those websites that searches the internet.
@@mychannel594 I think "Mega Tubes" has her
Back after 8 years.
Still on my top 5 favorite RUclips videos I’ve ever seen.
Man she fits the song so well.
Welcome back! It's 17 NOV 2021 and I just watched this video again, after many years. I should watch some Tiny Hazard videos now...
@@Woodsballer209 this shit will stay relevant for years... its just good stuff. No world where this becomes outdated. Only shit thing is Moon Hooch association with Moses Hacmon and the drummers departure, but this is certified bop.
Moon hooch is Dope.
No way! My two favourite bands
This is a relic
If that's the case we must stop the war on drugs.
We need another song with her! PLEASE!!
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 ;)
Her vocals rounds this band out so well IMO
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
+Andrew Gunter (The Gunters) Thank you for taking the effort to transcribe the lyrics for us. I regret all I have to give is a thumbs up and a thanks.
Yes I agree with Angelus Nielson in his gratitude for the lyrics provided by Andrew Gunter! Hey, do you guys happen to know why Mike Wilbur says "Java" at the end of the video? Is it because he wants some coffee now?
I think he says "good job."
Nice.
So the lyrics are about LSD?
That toooone on the contra! The best way I can describe it is that it sounds like a massive redwood tree.
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 !
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.
When mike and alena are looking at each other you can see mike smiling while playing and it makes me happy
Were they dating at that time?
@@sladeburbach972 I’m not sure exactly
This song I ve discovered 10 years laters is just WHAAOU. Moon hooch incredible musicians and performers.
2:45 to 3:00 is absolute magic!
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.
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!
Great mix, I thoroughly enjoyed this tune, she definitely adds another dimension.
It's a certified BOP!
Oh dam, it's 11 years old, almost 12! Old wreckroom too. Maaaan, nostalgia
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 ^^
been following yall since the subway days glad yall movin up
Fantastic! Best new music I've heard all year.
I almost forgot what I was watching and starting moshing at that breakdown...
Was backstage with these blokes in New Orleans and gotta say what a lively fun bunch they are!
Vocals definitely made it for me.
3:16 This fingerwork is outstanding. Good job Mike Wilbur.
I can't get enough of this band. best new shit I've heard in years.
I agree, they rock, except it's too bad they don't have a permanent female vocalist. Also, do you know why he says "Java" at the end? I'm guessing it's because he wants some coffee now?
This confirms it...I'm now full on in love with that singer. Thanks a lot Moon Hooch...
Found this! Soo looking forward to seeing you guys at High Sierra Music Festival 2014!
Interesting sound....love the saxes.
So much powerfull... Love it
Wow, this girl Moon has a really great voice!
Love it. Wicked tune
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
This one still gets me every single damned time! :D
Alena Spanger - thanks.. :)) beautiful voice..
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!!!
Outstanding originality. Love this band
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.
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.
this is hands down the best thing i have ever heard ..... damn
Muito, muito bom, excelente, do melhor!!!
my ears dont know what is happening but its so goddamn addicting
That was excellent. Thank you!
really great, (insert big smile here) I need to get into the subway more often!
Great and Excellent.
I LOVE IT.
Need more of this
Saw them open for TMBG on Saturday, they were flawless!!
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.
Love the parts where she doesn't double the sax line melodically. Love you guys!!
awesome...
you guys rock my world i really hope you guy's make it big.
I absolutly love Moon Hooch and I'm a big fan of instrumental music but this girl vocalist fit perfectly. Great song!
I love the beat ! :)
amazing song,
damn its still sounds great!
I love this song
Great!!!
Yea dude both of the bands were incredible, I loved how much TMBG incorporated the audience into the show
I smashed the like button to pieces 18 seconds into this song.
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?
who in the world would hate on this vocalist? shes helping them expand their music in such a beautiful way
Met these guys at stubbs in austin while working on the sound that night, really cool guys.
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.
James actually doesnt look high in this, good for you!
ZForce72 now a punk or rock drummer
The recording sounds great!
Very unique, I like it. Always thought of how bass sax would sound in pop music. Thanks for sharing
it's a tenor saxophone and a contrabrass clarinet
ooh sweet!
Woooooow :D Great energy!! :D
Wow! That's a blast!
Moon Hooch is good how they usually are with just the three instrumentalists. However, the vocalist really takes them to the next level.
WOW! Bravo!
A thousand times YES!!!!!!
amazing
This is magnificent.
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.
love the look they give each other at 1:40
Amazing tune 1👍👍👍👍👍
Que increíble esto….único.
This is so freaking catchy!
PHEW! SO GOOD!
Jimmy, i was at that show!! TMBG ROCKED AND SO DID THESE GUYS
Simple mind blowing!!! How can i call all this awesomeness??!!
Prog, tech, acid jazz o.O
There is no prog in this
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?
expectacular lpm !!!
Awesome guys!
super!!! I
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 so dope.
Give the girl some credit, you don't even mention her in the text.
Alena Spangler from the band Tiny Hazard.
Love jamming out to these guys on the L platform! Castlebraid Heros!
это прекрасно.
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.
This is great, she's a great singer and the band is solid.
Diablos! Que buena cancion!!!!
I want to hire Moon Hooch to just follow me around wherever I go.
I love this Song. Definitely gonna follow up on the bands of Wreckroom
The best thing about Moon Hooch is...they can do whatever they want!! keep it up
