The Marias, joined by their opener Maye, play the song "Over The Moon" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the Starline Social Club in Oakland, California on December 29, 2019. Over The Moon originally appeared on the band's Superclean, Vol. II EP in 2018. The Marias are an indie rock / psychedelic soul band from Los Angeles consisting of María Reál (lead vocals and guitar), Josh Conway (drums and vocals), Jesse Perlman (guitar), Doron Zounes (bass), and Edward James (keyboards). Joining them onstage for several songs was Gabe Steiner (trumpet). Maye is the band's supporting act at their December 29th and 30th shows in Oakland and San Francisco.

Over The Moon lyrics:

I'll be your baby
There’s nothing better I'd rather do
I'm lost completely
I might as well be over the moon

I’d like it if you tried
Before you change my mind
Are you gonna be here with me?
I know you better

This momentary ride
This f‌ire by my side
Are you gonna be here with me?
You know that...

I'll be your baby
There's nothing better I'd rather do
I'm lost completely
I might as well be over the moon

You call me up at night
Imaginary lines
Are you gonna go back to sleep?
I know you better
Than you know yourself
I'm only saying
Play your hand with someone else (Someone else)
Don't tell me how to...

Be your baby
There's nothing better I’d rather do
I’m lost completely
I might as well be over the moon
I might as well be over the moon

Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Written by María Zardoya (a/k/a María Reál) and Josh Conway

The Marías official bio:

The Marias are the psychedelic-soul lovechild of Los Angeles native, Josh Conway and Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Reál. A smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos, there’s something undeniably sensual in the group’s dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge.

With María on lead vocals and Josh on drums, the couple is joined by two of their closest friends and fellow musicians. On guitar, Jesse Perlman, born and bred of LA, with ‘tones that can melt steel,’ say his bandmates. On keys, Edward James.

Drawing inspiration from both their vastly diverse backgrounds and the intimacy of their mystic Hollywood Hills commune, Maria and Josh often write, record and produce within the walls of their own home.

As they take to the stage, dressed like a dream from another era – María at the forefront, eyes closed, swaying rhythmically in a floor length smoking jacket and bright red lips – it’s clear why fans cheekily compare their sound to ‘having sex in the 70s’ or like ‘pouring cream into coffee.’ Watching them, you feel transported, taken over by a sultry tranquility as you drift into a timeless space.
