PRESENTED BY WILLIAM REED

Emerging out of the combustive indie music scene of southern California in 2014, Max and the Moon and their relentless gig playing have created a buzz that rides on its own frequency. The four piece band display a talent for intricate songwriting and sounds that resemble the classic harmonies of the Beach Boys and early Coldplay to the catchy dance beats of Passion Pit. Jason Kramer of KCRW writes “ Max and the Moon’s strongest musical quality is the diversity of moods found within each song. Their ability to breakdown energetic driven riffs with dreamy and humble vocal passages with strong lyrical hooks.”

Laden with strong guitar licks, steady piano and punctuated vocal harmonies—the band makes full use of two primary vocalists. L.A. Record writes “Max and The Moon kick off with high-energy dance music ripe with soothing harmonies and catchy guitar hooks. The duel vocals of John Velasquez and Matt Couchois blend the high- and mid-registers to create some unique ear sensations.”

Guitarist John Velasquez earned a degree in music at Cal State University, Fullerton, and began collaborating with longtime friends Matt and Dillon Couchois in the two brothers' small garage studio. Joined by Zachariah Weaver on bass, the band has come a long way in the few short years since their formation, challenging themselves everyday with booking shows or heading back to the drawing board on a new song that doesn't quite capture the right vision. In the present age of endless hype around new music, Max and the Moon stay true to passionately personal songwriting. That isn't to say these guys are low-key, though; the band revels in putting on energetic rock shows.
