Mad Noise

This band Rocks!
They are eclectic, a diverse group musically as well as band members. Their neosoul, acoustic, jamming blues and rock rhythms will soothe your soul, and keep your dancing shoes on all night long.
They are located mostly in Oakland including Awaken Café, and Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, with epic secret shows that you don’t wanna miss! I would totally recommend checking them out when you have free time away from your Tinder sliding addiction and Pinterest binges.

I just caught this band at Subzero in San Jose. They were a great addition to this years festival. Great beat, harmonies, and fusion of funk, jazz and blues. They are worth checking out. It was a real treat to stumble across them at this years festival.

Mad Noise is the sickest band in the Bay Area.
I heard these guys jamming at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market, where they are every Saturday from 9 – 2, and they blew me away. I have since also seen them at the Ex’pression College Battle of the Bands, which they won by a huge margin. To say that they rock is the understatement of the year.
The front man, Khalil, brings a funky fun to his neo-​soul croonings and does a mix of original material and fantastic covers.
The rest of the band, Chris on the standup bass (how awesome is it to see a standup bass in street performance!), Pharoah on harmonicas and assorted percussion (the man has lung power like no other), and Mowgli on buckets (that’s right, I said buckets) add a depth and creativity to Khalil’s performances that take the band to a whole new level.
If you haven’t heard Mad Noise yet, you’re missing out. Love, love, LOVE these guys!!!
