On October 5, 2025, Moonalice played on the Swan Stage at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The band immediately after us on that stage was Nick Lowe and Los Straightjackets. We recently released our own arrangement of Nick’s song, What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love & Understanding, and were hoping to get his permission to play it in our set. Nick did not arrive backstage until after we started, so we played the song.

Responding to the news that the Skull & Roses festival has been canceled, Bay Area psychedelic soul band Moonalice is offering free entry to its shows in the San Francisco Bay Area over 4/20weekend to fans who sign up and bring a Skull & Roses ticket.

“Skull & Roses was a fantastic festival and we were lucky to play there many times. The festival and its fans deserved a much happier ending,” said Moonalice’s Roger McNamee. “We think the right thing to do is give folks who had S&R tickets free entry to our shows on April 18, 19, and 20.”
