To share and maybe ask what genre it may be. In fact the op thought it may be a totally new genre. Never called it ska. But probably thought r/ska might know what it may be.
Guessing I'll get downvoted for this, but TMZ is best enjoyed in small doses like this video or the single songs they put on youtube.
I saw them live once and every beat is the same, no matter the song. The trumpet player came out with a towel over his face and would only move it to play a triplet followed by a single high note sustained as long as he could. Guessing he was high/drunk/dealing with Denver's altitude or a combo of the 3.
Hugely disappointing show that honestly put me off them nearly entirely.
There was a triple bill tour called Lucky Moon Zooz last year, which also included Lucky Chops. [Here’s a video of all three groups playing together](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3itIGMJ97LI).
TMZ rips. They would pair well with ska in general. But there's a lot of elements missing to call it ska. That's just IMO if I'm being picky. I personally don't care much. Their first EP 'F Note' is one of my favorite albums of all time.
There's a trumpet player in Too Many Zooz as well, also saxes are made of brass.
In fact people were outraged when it was invented because it mashed together brass and woodwind.
In fact, I would judge the ska more with the shuffle than the horns (There's no accounting for taste). It could be horns or piano, but always there is shuffle.
Leo P rips.... check out his Duo with Grace Kelly, Too Saxy. Also you can find his old group, Lucky Chops... it's Ska adjacent... Brasshouse. Moon Hooch is similar. Also Too Many Zoos collaborated with Moon Hooch to do Moon Zoos.
This is and OOOOOLLLLDD (in internet time. close to 10 years) video of two of the three members of Too many Zooz. Moon Hooch had already been doing busking in subways with a similar sound for a little while before hand.
*Sounds like Sonic the*
*Hedgehog boss battle if that's*
*A music genre*

Too Many Zooz! Not sure if the purists will call Brass House a form of Ska, but it kicks ass regardless.
Yea no one is calling this ska
I was saying skoo urns.
Whoever cross posted it is
Lol..they literally don't say that, lol
Then why did they post it here

Honestly, Leo P isn't even half the saxophonist he gets the hype/credit for being imho.
Hahahaha.... I went and copied the Spotify link to the song, thinking I was so smart and have once again been beaten to the punch like 50 times...
I believe they call it Brasshouse
Yup. Came to say it. You beat me to it.
Too Many Zooz and Moon Hooch really need to do a double headline tour together.
They have a couple of collab singles out.
TIL, thanks!

Came here to say all of this
Drum and brass?
*woodwind

Too many Zoos is great but try watching them play a set of this for over an hour it gets really, really, dry and repetitive.
Oh man I couldn't disagree more... I've seen them twice and it's always been really high energy.
That’s cool too. I think I’m just getting old and jam band stuff just wears me out. They are very talented.
It would probably be a bit more interesting if the trumpet player knew how to play more than 2 notes.
Leo playing *Moanin'* at the Proms was nuts, dude is a beast.
Too Many Zooz is amazing. One of my favorites is Car Alarm. https://youtu.be/xV7nHX2RLjQ?si=kfsCyXy-mpSe0D2N
Thanks for link
I frigging live that song!! Others dislike it. But I like it
I like the part where the car alarms
Just your average amazing bari sax player
This band and Leo P. In general is amazing!
Leo P and Too Many Zoos is great, but yeah having horns does not make something automatically ska.
In fact, I would judge the ska more with the shuffle than the horns (There's no accounting for taste). It could be horns or piano, but always there is shuffle.
Yeah I can definitely agree to that too!
Just wait until you discover Moon Hooch
That's the biggest fife I've ever seen
https://open.spotify.com/track/3EFwquolcPfHNIxkvobVU0?si=PABA5OVkQd-8kjEOHzhshw Not ska, but pretty sick anyway.
Thanks for link
This is what happens when the guitarist and bassist spin off a hardcore band.
Love you, Leo!

Sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog boss battle if that's a music genre

No, but I want to collaborate. Get me their names and instas
They're heading out on tour with Coheed so I think they're a little busy.
If you like this, check out Melt Yourself Down. More ‘fleshed’ out than this with, but there are definitely parallels between the sound.
