Get ready to move with Mild Universe, one of San Francisco’s most exciting indie-dance collectives. Formed in 2019, this seven-piece band blends 90s house vibes, classic disco, and a dash of funk to create a sound that’s impossible to resist. If you’re looking for a band that can make you dance and dream at the same time, this is it.
The brainchild of drummer Sam Jones, Mild Universe brings together some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians, all of whom share a deep love for making music that moves people—literally. Their tunes are packed with lush synths, catchy saxophone hooks, and rhythms that keep the energy high from start to finish. Whether it’s a dreamy track like “Connected Endlessly” or a high-energy groove like “Sunday,” this band knows how to get the crowd going.
Their debut album, Everything Must Change, dropped in July, and it’s a perfect snapshot of what they’re all about: music that celebrates change, love, and the unique vibe of San Francisco. It’s a record that was made to be heard live, and at Festicrawl, you’ll get the full experience. Expect to hear a mix of psychedelic pop, house beats, and jazz improvisation that will have you on your feet and lost in the music.
Mild Universe has already shared the stage with some big names, like Say She She and Harvey Sutherland, and they’re quickly becoming a must-see act in the Bay Area music scene. So, if you’re at Festicrawl on Saturday, August 24, make sure you catch their set. It’s going to be one of those shows you’ll talk about long after the music fades.
