Too Many Zooz

What have Too Many Zooz been up to since their last previously? Smells Like Teen Spirit, Moon Zooz Part 2, and their recently uploaded I Will Survive.

There can never be too many Too Many Zooz! I'm also a huge fan of Leo P's appearance at the BBC proms a few years back.

I love those guys so much... Saw them in NYC subways before they were cool... Saw them at Envision fest with a huge crowd, good times! It's almost like they invented their own musical subgenre.

Man, for a sec, I thought he was gonna slam that sax down and dogpile it …

Infinite superlatives, what a performance!

The I Will Survive video feels like it's one of the reasons for New York to exist.

These guys are great, though Smells Like Teen Spirit has been done in the NOLA brass band scene for decades now:

If you like this, don’t miss (frequent 2MZ collaborators) Moon Hooch.

On non-preview: I’m a dingus, Moon Zooz was linked in the OP

This was delightful. I kept on wondering how many musicians would end up in the shot in "I Will Survive."

First time I saw the Zooz live, I danced so hard I nearly put my back out. Good times.

I get a little confused by the sort of spray-tan 80s muscle bro look they dabble in recently (esp one of the moon zooz vids) but I don't care, I still love everything they do!

I'd also shout out this recent street corner performance. Decently good audio and kind of more toward their roots, more wild and free than the main vids posted. I love the crazy jilted arps in the middle section.

It was great seeing a couple of the guys from Lucky Chops playing along as well

How can those bypasses just walk on by??!?

There is a precedent for Musclebound sax guys going nuts on stage. Let us harken now a call for Tim Capello (previously).
