A to Z 2k18: M is for Moon Hooch

Band:  Moon Hooch
Song:  Red Sky
Album:  Red Sky (2016)
Genre:  Brass House

This is one of the bands I was most excited to share with you guys this month.  The discovery of Brass House is one I only made about 2 days before the Theme Reveal dropped, so I included one of the "better known" bands of the genre to intro the whole deal.  Moon Hooch are slightly more under the radar, so they got to land the job of the main A to Z post.  I also already had a plan for T, so Too Many Zooz fell out there too.

There's something just freaking cool about the fact that this band is only 3 people.  I've included a dope live performance here, but the studeo track is also super strong.  Seeing it live makes me realize they didn't layer extra tracks or anything though, it's all able to be done live, and that's really cool.  These guys just rock out this song bring an energy you might not expect from such a small setup with the instruments they have.

Take a listen, it's good stuff.

A to Z 2k18: Theme Reveal

Band:  Too Many Zooz
Song;  F.W.S.
Album:  F Note (2014)
Genre:  Brass House

Welcome to the official theme reveal for this year's A to Z!  Finna be lit.

This year I'm gonna do everything I possibly can to highlight lesser known bands.  Albums were a wreck to do since very few people have started an album with the letter X, and I feel like song titles would be an easy way out, so we're gonna continue, like last year, to rock out with band names.

To start with the intro to this wonderful theme I figured I'd hit you with the band you've probably heard, but have no clue who they are, Too Many Zooz.

Take a peek at the above video, I'm sure you'll recognize them pretty quickly as they've made their way around the ol' Facebook newsfeed several times that I know of.

I really loved their sound, but I wasn't at all familiar with what they were playing, or who they were.  After a while though I had a friend link some of their music to me.  He told me their genre was Brass House, and I've had a blast going through different bands that identify with that genre.  Like, my goodness, this is fantastic music.  From what I'm seeing it's all brass instruments with a drummer of some sort.  The music itself seems to draw from whatever genres they feel like.  There's some Punk influence, some Jazz stuff, basically whatever you'd care to hear is in there somewhere.

I feel like because of this, especially since it's a relatively unknown genre, made it a great way to kick off the A to Z season.  I wish all my fellow bloggers luck, see ya tomorrow.
