Moogatu

"Moogatu, a [Washington, DC] powerhouse jamband warmed up the night with their classic funk chops... The group kept the crowd pumped up and ready for the madness that was about to unfold." - Relix/Jambands.com, November 2013 "Moogatu... a powerhouse jamband" - Relix/Jambands.com, November 2013 "Previously unfamiliar with Moogatu, I was highly impressed by their set. This 4 piece brings forth another unique and heavy sound, forming much of its music around dual lead guitar parts, with a very tight and complimentary rhythm section." - Buckeye Music Magazine, October 2012 "We've seen some personal favorites of ours such as People's Blues of Richmond, Moogatu, Moon Hooch and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong dominating the festival scene and rarely taking a night off from playing a show. Moogatu has been teaming up with Jamwich favorites such as Galaxy Dynamite and Segway and continue to wow audiences with their creative and technical skills." - Appalachian Jamwich Magazine, December 2012 "I forgot Moogatu was from [some movie we totally don't remember]. I thought it just stood for 'BADASS!'" - Allen Aucoin (Disco Biscuits), March 2013 DC's Finest Jam Rockers. New album out now on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon! Go to moogatu.net for more!
