Orkeatrah’l Manuevers – The Molehill Orkestrah, teaming up with Flam Chen, likes it live
—The Tucson Weekly
 
     
  “It’s a downright riveting combo: Gypsy music mixed with touches of Klezmer, Slavic, and Middle Eastern sounds. And perhaps most refreshing of all, Molehill plays with a verve that makes me want to describe the band in terms most often reserved for punk rock: Molehill plays with a primal urgency that is undeniable.”
—Steven Siegel – The Tucson Weekly
 
     
  Molehill Orkestrah – Runners-up for Best Live Performance: 2004 TAMMIES (Tucson Area Music Awards)
“Ebbing, flowing, and often climaxing in what can only be described as transcendence, the Molehill Orkestrah’s take on gypsy music is the closest thing in the Old Pueblo to aural sex.”
—The Tucson Weekly, June 2004
 
     
  “You can take off your shoes and dance to their music. There really is something down home and comforting about this group of musicians. Theirs is a kind of ‘sixties ideology, an understanding that the music is not only about the song, but also about bringing people together.”
—Lindsay Utz – The Arizona Daily Wildcat, October 2002
 
     
  “It had a quality that people talk about long after the show is over. This was another import from Tucson, the little town that could. Weird things must be happening in Arizona for them to break out a group like this, playing the outlaw music that was punk in antiquity and fast enough to get people burned at the stake. They made me want to break dishes, and if you knew me, you’d know how hard it is to get me to want to do anything.”
—San Diego show review, Aug 2002

 
     
  “…Mediterranean Desert Gypsy music fills the air. The tempo of this band picks up through the show…if someone throws you a baby, you better hang on to your wallet. No other band in Tucson sounds like the Molehill Orkestrah. You will enjoy their show.”

  “Molehill trades in traditional gypsy music, it takes you on a journey of improvisation that ebbs, flows, and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.”

  “After the set we had a few minutes to spare before the midnight hour, so we strolled over to the Performance Stage to catch the final set of the night by fire performance artists Flam Chen, backed by the gypsy orchestra Molehill. While the former was literally on fire, Molehill was equally fanning the flames of audience appreciation. And the enormous crowd responded in kind, fueling the band to another level.”
