February 5th, Hot Like Mars with San Leandro Band

From the furthest depths of the galaxy, Chicago-based funk phenomenon Hot Like Mars has been sending shockwaves across the music scene lately. Possessing a refined blend of soul, funk, and high-octane dance music, Hot Like Mars puts on a masterclass of musical patience, excellence, and enthusiasm, carefully curating their sounds into an explosive array of musical prowess. If the backbone of Motown and gospel met the psychedelic experience of the jam world, Hot Like Mars would emerge from the ashes to deliver the funk to all those fortunate enough to bear witness. While these cats have already become a cornerstone in the Chicago music scene, The Hot Like Mars experience continues to grow nationally and has become a can’t-miss act in venues across the country.

San Leandro is a Denver-based psych-funk project led by keyboardist, songwriter, and producer Leandro “Leo” Albertoni. Blending the warmth of 1970s west coast r&b with the reflective edge of modern indie and singer/songwriter, San Leandro creates music that lives between introspection and motion. Albertoni’s writing pairs lyrically reflective themes with richly layered arrangements built on live rhythm-section chemistry and vintage keys. The band’s sound evokes artists like Neal Francis and Magic City Hippies, yet remains unmistakably its own: organic, melodic, and deeply human. Following a series of independently released singles, San Leandro is preparing its debut full-length album, Dive, a collection that explores renewal, illusion, and the search for personal conviction.
