About

On WeddingWire since 2018

If music matters to you and your fiancé, The Moon Units are the band for you. We offer over 500 songs to choose from—the most in California—including pop, rock, Motown, classic rock, jazz, hip hop, country, indie rock, R&B, 80s music, 90s music, and more. We offer performances that clients have called "better than the actual bands" who recorded the songs. We can even do live band karaoke where your guests become our lead singer.

The Moon Units is a real band, not a booking agency. That means fair, transparent prices and amazing on-stage chemistry. We've played on NBC, on Good Day LA, with The Rascals in New York, on the Sony Pictures Lot, the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, the Regent Theater, the Avalon in Hollywood, the Grammy Museum, and at countless weddings and parties. It won't take long to see and hear what the fuss is about.

The Perfect Party Band

The Moon Units played a birthday party at a professional concert venue. It really couldn’t have gone better. They accommodated a number of specific musical requests and were super responsive leading up to the event. They showed up on time (early) and every member of the band was fun and friendly and ready to go. I had seen them quickly at a party before and they were very good, but when they started their first dance set it was clear how good they really are. The energy was fantastic from the band and the crowd. Great personality and everyone was having so much fun. Then live karaoke and jam sessions happened after and the crowd was totally engaged and performers were well supported and aided through tactfully as needed. They gave me the chance to sit in on a few songs along with some other guests and that went great as well. As a musician myself, I noticed the quality playing and execution of a broad range of music. But as a party goer, all that mattered was how much fun everyone had. The compliments keep coming.

Best wedding band EVER

The Moon Units are far and away the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. They have such amazing talent, such fun personalities, and such mindblowing versatility. Everything about working with them was a breeze, from the song selection to the timeline planning to the last minute adjustments a week before the wedding. A lot of the other groups we researched had a fixed setlist where they play the same thing at every wedding. The Moon Units let us pick our favorites from their enormous song list, and they also learned three new songs just for us. Special shout out to the horn section—they were POPPING the whole night! And I must mention that their saxophonist is very talented and a gem of the band. I really cannot recommend The Moon Units enough. 5 stars across the board!

Superb and magical experience working with The Moon Units!!!

What can we say about The Moon Units that would adequately describe our experience of working with them? Next to deciding to propose to my bride, selecting The Moon Units was our next best decision! It might seem cliché, but it feels clandestine that they were to be the band that my bride and I would hire to perform at our wedding. Music is very important us. We believe that music can set the tone for an event, so it was of the utmost importance to my bride and I that we find the perfect band for our wedding. After weeks of searching for the right band, and seeing footage of many competent but corporately concocted “bands” my bride discovered The Moon Units. The name alone had me sold! (My bride and I have had many cosmic coincidences and blessing in our relationship, so the celestial name alone was enough to pique my interest!) That said, once I saw their superb musicianship and that they are an actual working band, my interest was even stronger. After a quick call with Dylan, we were struck by his kind, personable demeanor, his easy, yet very professional manner and inquisitive interest in us as a couple and our musical tastes, we were sold! It was a refreshing experience after weeks of calls and zoom meetings with some impersonal and caustic corporate event organizations. By being extremely flexible with accommodating and collaborative with our special requests, The Moon Units took time and special care to provide a comprehensive approach to ensure that the sound for our wedding was perfect. My bride and I knew that were in such good hands, The Moon Units not only provided the entertainment for our reception, an acoustic quintet made up of members of the band provided music for our ceremony, and Dylan personally handled coordinating the string quartet that played our cocktail reception.
Writer/Comedian Larry David said that when hiring writers for Seinfeld, “many times it came down who was an ‘easy hang’.” In other words, whom would you like to spend so much time with. Dylan and all members of the Moon Units are the definition of an “easy hang.” After seeing their performances, witnessing their superb musicianship and the time that we spent with them at one of their gigs between sets, it was like seeing and hanging out with old friends. The laughs and smiles were quick. After a few minutes they began their second set and we were blown away with their musicianship! Sophie has the voice of an angel yet such incredible range and versatility, Jamey has a superb voice and charisma. Just when you think Mikey is just an excellent keyboardist, here he comes out-front to bring down the house by singing a tune with his rich deep voice. Not since Earth, Wind & Fire’s bassist Verdine White, has there been as great a bassists who can smile, sing and dance all while playing an infectious groove on bass! The Moon Unit’s Brian does that and so much more! Of course, as the legendary James Brown said, “you’ve got to give the drummer some,” The Moon Unit’s excellent drummer Taylor holds it all together giving the show a heartbeat to it all and expertly handing all of the different time signatures. The Moon Unit’s Saxophonist, Ross absolutely nails each solo and the accompanying horn players gave such warmth and depth to the arrangements. Their sound rivals any current Chicago and/or Steely Dan performance.

My bride and I are not what would be classified as dancers of any sort. Many of our hand selected songs were not typical dance music. However, with a band this good, you cannot help but get up and move! Special kudos and praise for their superb rendition of Earth, Wind, & Fire’s ‘September’, one of our favorite songs. Throughout what was a magical evening, the common denominator was the music of The Moon Units. From a stirring rendition of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’; to Anita Baker’s ‘Same Ol’ Love’ (365 Days a Year); to Paul Simon’s, ‘You Can Call Me Al” (complete with superb bass solo, trumpet and music video choreography; to Duran Duran’s “Rio”; to the New Radicals’ anthem, ‘You Get What You Give’ it all was an incredible evening because of the music, and because that music was played and sang by gifted and talented musicians and singers. All of this is held together by the superb leadership of Dylan, who is a great band leader and a master a putting together a great setlist, understanding and working an audience, and on top of those skills, throw in his excellent playing both lead and rhythm guitar and executing perfect guitar solos.
I could go on and on about our superb and magical experience working with The Moon Units; however, I will just make the friendly suggestion that you see, hear and experience them for yourself! You will not be disappointed. And you will be looking for any excuse to book them again, just like my bride and I!
