Today, San Francisco-based psychedelic soul group Moonalice releases “Love, Peace and Happiness.” The opening line serves as a mantra for vocalists Lester Chambers and his son Dylan: “All our love, peace, and happiness, we want to give to you yeah.” Initially written by The Chambers Brothers as the counterpart to “Time Has Come Today,” “Love, Peace and Happiness” has been a Chambers family anthem for over 50 years. The powerful single cracked the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970 and was subsequently covered by Santana and The Isley Brothers on their joint ‘Power of Peace’ album.
Backed by incredible playing from Pete Sears (bass), Barry Sless (guitar), John Molo (drums), Jason Crosby (keyboard), and Roger McNamee (guitar), Lester and Dylan continue the tradition with a renewed sense of energy, spreading love and hope for the new generation. “Love, Peace and Happiness” is the band’s first single following the release of Moonalice’s ‘Full Moonalice Vol. 1’ EP and their performance at BottleRock Napa, where the group was one of the festival’s closing acts.
Moonalice recently launched their “Moonalice Minute” series, hosted by legendary rock journalist and veteran Rolling Stone journalist Ben Fong Torres. Fans can watch byte size episodes of the band discussing various aspects of their careers, like John Molo on playing the songs of The Grateful Dead, Jason Crosby on lessons learned from his tours with Jenny Lewis and Jackson Browne, and Lester and Dylan Chambers on how Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Average White Band, and others were intimidated by the thought of taking the stage immediately after The Chambers Brothers.
