Coming straight off a South Korean tour with his band What’s Up?, Raleigh Moncrief is at the vanguard of the Sacramento music scene. He has played full tours alongside Marnie Stern, and Zach Hill, and with indie greats such as the Dirty Projectors, Deerhoof, as well as shows with Mono, Tune-Yards and Animal Collective. He also is credited with having recorded The Dirty Projectors album Bitte Orca. He was in the only Nintendo sountrack cover band that ever mattered (The Advantage) and now he’s coming to Kohoutek to blast some solo dance jams your way. Don’t miss him on Friday afternoon!

They’ve been called everything from “pure art rock sunshine” to “deliberately obnoxious.” Battlehooch unabashedly walks the line between pop sensibility and avant-garde experimentation, bending the chaotic into the melodic and evoking passionate responses in everyone that hears them. Shape-Shifting Orchestral Rock music for people who like thinking while dancing.
