    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.

    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

    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.

    i had smoked pot to this song for 2 years in the parking lot which is nicknamed "the Satellite", while i was hopelessly trying to get my college degree. That parking lot is a deserted place, place that you take your girl or boy to make out. I was sitting on the pavement, without a car, with my headphones on, this song playing, pulling as hard as i could fromthe joint, burning feeling going down my throat so that i could get out of the pile of misery i had been in.
    Now its been 2 years since i got that fuckin degree, im not happier though, at least now i got a job and some folks respect me for what i do. If thats something.
