Percussionist and songwriter Sam Jones crafts catchy indie-psych tracks with a dancefloor twist, complemented by effortless, soulful vocals. The band is a six-piece ensemble, known for their lush synth textures, and horn arrangements. Mild Universe has become a standout in the Bay Area music scene, sharing the stage with artists like Say She She, Sugar Candy Mountain, Harvey Sutherland, and Automatic. Their debut LP "Everything Must Change" is a reflection on shifting relationships, love, and the ever-changing landscape of San Francisco. Mild Universe blends psychedelic pop, house, and jazz improvisation to create kaleidoscopic anthems that unite people through the shared joy of music and dance. TRESTLES Trestles is a surf/psych outfit from Santa Cruz, California. Formed in 2021, the band has spent the last several years developing a sound based in 1960's west coast garage rock tradition. From their early days as a fresh faced college rock band to their more recent years as bonafide 60s garage revivalists, the band has consistently been rooted in the culture of Santa Cruz. With their own take on a 60's surf/garage revival sound, Trestles' current day sound is the byproduct of shared time studying and obsessing over the history of music recording arts at the local community college. The band's attitude about , "rdquo" -> ...what makes guitar bands worth anything in the age of infinitely accessible stimulation," seems to be Trestles' only traceable ethos. Seeing the current landscape of independent music projects as , "rdquo" -> ...a bunch of short-form theatre acts," the band's goal is to only participate in things that push culture forward.
