Latest review of Zoograss by American Noise.

http://americannoise.com/interviews/hot-day-at-the-zoo-is-not-exactly-bluegrass/

We posted new video this week on the media page. "Wheel" was recorded live on May 2010 at Baraby's Bluegrass Jamboree in Rockingham, VT.

Don't miss our performance at the annual Gathering of the Vibes festival in Bridgeport, CT this July.

New CD Review of "Zoograss" in the April/May Relix Magazine:

Relix

“Combine the rough and tumble acoustic sweetness of Ronnie Lanes Slim Chance, YMSB when they are feeling rowdy, and Reckoning -era Dead and you'd have some idea of what HDATZ sounds like on its new live release, Zoograss. A four-piece with punk-grass energy and no fear jamming ( a 9+ min. "Mercy of the Sea" establishes that right off the bat) HDATZ offers a little something for everybody sometimes boozily wistful ("One Day Soon") other times rip-the-ass-out-of-your overalls raucous (Old Mill) Zoograss is just plain fun.” – Relix Magazine 3/10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“If you dig the music of the Avett Brothers, Yonder Mountain String Band and the Grateful Dead then you owe it to yourself to check out New England roots string band Hot Day at the Zoo. The outfit’s third album, the superb “Zoograss,” was recorded live at the Waterhole in Saranac, N.Y., last September and finds HDATZ in peak form. From the opening notes of “Boston Blues” straight through to the closing strains of “Old Mill,” Michael Dion, Jed Rosen, JT Lawrence and Jon Cumming are totally in the zone. Incorporating plenty of high-energy tunes from both their 2005 debut “Cool as Tuesday” and 2008’s stellar EP “Long Way Home,” as well as some new material, this is a record that will appeal to the band’s fans and serves as a great introduction for those as yet unfamiliar with Hot Day at the Zoo. Among the many keepers on this 14-track, 77-minute opus are “Mercy of the Sea,” “Blues for Jimmy,” “Devil Woman” and “Morning Light” — though “Zoograss” '69s one of those rare albums in which there aren’t any misfires. So sit back and enjoy.” The Daily News 3/10
