A DIY instrumental funk quartet from San Francisco, Radio Veloso is built around a sound that feels like a lost 70s movie soundtrack rescored for the modern Bay Area. Across afro-funk psychedelia, 90s hip-hop grit, and 60s soul warmth, the band draws a clear line back to touchstones like Money Mark, The Budos Band, and Tommy Guerrero — while carving out a groove that's distinctly their own.
Formed in 2017, Radio Veloso is the product of musical friendships more than a decade in the making. That long-run chemistry shows: the band's four members lock into arrangements with the kind of unspoken communication that usually only comes from years of playing together, whether in a packed backroom club or a local dive bar.
Three self-released EPs laid the groundwork for the band's evolving sound and steadily built a devoted following throughout the Bay Area. That groundwork paid off with the release of the band's debut full-length album, …and Other Subjects, on June 28, 2024 — a record that distilled years of live-honed arrangements into a cohesive, cinematic statement. Now available again on limited-edition vinyl, the reissue offers longtime fans and new listeners a chance to revisit the album that marked Radio Veloso's arrival as a fully realized band, and to hear where their sound has been headed ever since — most recently documented on Live at the Fireside Lounge (2025), a vinyl release capturing the band's live show in full flight.
