Next up, they will be performing at numerous festivals including Electric ForestLife Is BeautifulFireflyWonderstruck Festivals, Austin City Limits, Portola & more.  Full list is below.

Neil Frances’ 2018 debut EP, Took A While, with its blend of psychedelic rhythms, vibe-y, infectious grooves, and raw, funky spirit put them firmly on the map and propelled them to tour slots with Jungle and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Their 2021 EP, Stay Strong Play Long, featured collaborations with Poolside and Raffaella and included their cover of “Music Sounds Better With You,” which has amassed over 90 million streams.
