Tonight the Ninth Ward (341 Delaware Ave) hosts the awesome lineup of NYC’s Moon Hooch and local noise duo, Settlers. Moon Hooch is a three piece dance band consisting of two saxophonists and a drummer. The band’s horns are reminiscent of The Budos Band with the percussion of !!!. This trio (Mike Wilbur, Wenzl McGowen, and James Muschler) met at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in Manhattan. Moon Hooch started out as a street act, hustling in the subways and parks for spare change. After solidifying their name (formerly Moon Juice) the band quickly gained popularity in part to their impromptu subway dance parties. If you can get New Yorkers dancing in public at rush hour, that says something. Currently the band is in the midst of a six-month sold out residency in Brooklyn’s famed Knitting Factory. Opening is the fuzzy Buffalo-based tag-team Settlers (Maxwell Scott and Daniel Gomez). Doors open at 8:00pm and there is an $8 cover.
