San Francisco-based psychedelic soul group Moonalice is set to release their latest studio EP, \\u2018Full Moonalice Vol. 1\\u2019, on the high holy day of April 20. The six song record is the group\\u2019s label debut on Nettwerk and features the previously released single \\u201cWoo Woo\\u201d and an extended version of the band\'s first single, \\u201cTime Has Come Today.\\u201d \\u2018Full Moonalice Vol. 1\\u2019 is their first full body of work since transforming into a ten-piece in 2019 through the addition of Lester Chambers and Dylan Chambers of the New Chambers Brothers, and Erika, Rachel, and Chloe Tietjen of the T Sisters. Today, Moonalice shares \\u201cLet\\u2019s Get Funky,\\u201d the latest single from their upcoming EP.
Mixed and mastered by 4x-Grammy Award-winning engineer Dave Way, \\u201cLet\\u2019s Get Funky\\u201d is a fresh take on the Chambers Brothers\\u2019 hit \\u201cFunky.\\u201d Originally released in 1970, the song was written by Lester Chambers, a co-founder and lead vocalist of the Chambers Brothers, who is now a member of Moonalice. \\u201cFunky\\u201d broke the Billboard Top 100 despite being deemed \\u201ctoo risqu\\xe9 of a song for the time,\\u201d explains the 81-year-old Chambers. Moonalice delivers a new version of the song with tight grooving from Pete Sears and John Molo on bass and drums, funky guitar riffs from Barry Sless, an electric synth solo by Jason Crosby, soulful harmonica playing by Lester Chambers, and lively backing vocals from the T Sisters and Dylan Chambers.
Moonalice will spend the next few months on the road, touring across California, including festival performances at BottleRock and Skull & Roses. The group is also planning an extra special event in San Francisco to coincide with their annual 4/20 celebration. Stay tuned for more details and national headline dates to be announced soon.
