KEXP & Tunnel Records present:
Vinelands Live at the 4 Star
KEXP's Local Music Showcase & Live Radio Broadcast Series
Vinelands is a cross-genre exploration of music of the Bay Area and Northern California, hosted by Kelley Stoltz and Gabriel Lopez, airing Saturday nights 6-9 PM Pacific on 92.7 FM and live streaming via KEXP.ORG. For one night only, they will broadcast live from the 4 Star, featuring live on-air and on-stage performances from Mild Universe and Camellia Boutros.
Mild Universe
Mild Universe is a San Francisco based indie-dance collective that fuses 90s house influence with disco, soul, and post-punk, creating an eclectic live performance that's impossible to resist. 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.
Camellia Boutros
Camellia Boutros is a Lebanese Palestinian composer and multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco. After years of experience performing with a diverse array of Arab, Balkan, and Latin music groups on trumpet, oud, and bass, she developed a fretless 12-string electric guitar as a vehicle for composing her own brand of Arab experimental rock. Naming her instrument the “electric oud-guitar,” Camellia writes music rooted in both Arabic Maqam and the Bay Area sound, which reflects her own experience growing up between California and the Levant. An energetic blend of Arab traditional, psychedelia, folk, jazz, hip hop, and experimentalism, her music and lyrics defy genre definition.
