Moon Hooch opened for Lotus,
a three-piece group from Brooklyn, New York. Band consists of drums and two
saxophone players. The group got their start attending The New School for Jazz
and Contemporary Music as well as busking in the NYC subway stations. The group
possesses a New Orleans, honky tonk style, full of electric energy and gets the
party started. Light, groovy and festive, Moon Hooch was a fun opener for
Lotus.
Lotus, formed in 1999 in Indiana (now based out of
Philadelphia, PA and Boulder, CO) is a five piece jam-electronica band. Signed
to SCI Fidelity Records, Lotus is right at home in the jam band festival scene,
alongside bands like The Disco Biscuits, The String Cheese Incident and EOTO.
Lotus is such a solid group in so many aspects, they never disappoint. Five
piece group, including drums, bass, two guitarists and keys, jam trance is the
name of their game. Having seen them over five times now, the boys always bring
the heat. Futuristic live band funk, ethereal entrances, and a fat beat to
always back them up, Lotus takes you on a journey throughout the entire
performance. Mainly instrumental with occasional harmonized chants from the
band, Lotus’s songs glide into one another, creating a constant wave of change.
As usual the group performed two long sets, the second set being the better of
the two.
