Moonbuggy
Happy, conscious sounds to make you dance your socks off. Their original, solid rocking rhythms, jazz tinged horns and sweet laidback vocals make them Nottingham's hottest new reggae band. Having spent the past year writing and recording their debut album "Funky Diatribe", they are now playing out this striking new material with irresistible freshness.

The Press:
"Moonbuggy are the latest addition to the Notts scene, and a very welcome one too; mining the rich vein of late-70s instrumental skank without falling into the trap of sounding like the theme tune to Pigeon Street, they've already run into the dilemma all decent Reggae bands have to face; an audience who are so hyped up on the music that they want to nip out for a spliff with an ear cocked against the fire exit. The only downer they put on the event is the fact that we're going to have to wait 9 months in order to see them in the open air, where they belong. Check 'em out the next time they're about in town; they're very good indeed."
