MUNA

<?xml encoding="UTF-8">MUNA is a Los Angeles-based indie pop trio made up of lead vocalist and songwriter Katie Gavin, guitarist and producer Josette Maskin, and producer and multi-instrumentalist Naomi McPherson. The band formed in 2013 when all three members were attending the University of Southern California (USC).1A touchstone for LGBTQ+ audiences, the group is known for hook-driven, synthetic pop that blends electronics into candid, emotional songwriting. Their studied music background shaped how the band writes &mdash; sharp and intentional, drawing on a wide range of influences and built on the creative chemistry between all three members.1Score your <a href="https://www.axs.com/artists/1102105/muna-tickets" target="_self">MUNA tickets</a> now on AXS and experience one of indie pop's most electrifying live acts.

<?xml encoding="UTF-8">The three band members met at USC's Thornton School of Music. Initially, McPherson and Maskin played progressive rock and ska before their first collaboration with Gavin, where they produced a pop song, thus reshaping the direction of their music.1MUNA self-released their debut EP, More Perfect, in 2014 on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, which led to the group signing with RCA Records in the U.S.2They really owned their sound when they signed with <a href="https://www.axs.com/artists/1104375/phoebe-bridgers-tickets" target="_blank">Phoebe Bridgers</a>' indie record label, Saddest Factory, with their hit, Silk Chiffon.2 Rolling Stone called the song "an uncharacteristically bright and buoyant declaration of queer love."3

<?xml encoding="UTF-8">MUNA's path hasn't followed the traditional awards route. Still, their milestones tell the story of a band whose impact has outpaced industry recognition &mdash; from critical acclaim and year-end list dominance to opening for some of the biggest names in music on stages worldwide.<ul>

</ul>

<?xml encoding="UTF-8">MUNA's catalog spans three studio albums and a growing live discography, blending synth-pop hooks with emotionally resonant songwriting. Their work on Saddest Factory Records produced their commercial and critical breakthrough.<ul>
<li>Silk Chiffon (2021): Released as MUNA's first single on Saddest Factory Records, this queer love anthem became their first song to hit Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and landed on year-end best song lists from multiple outlets.6,7</li>
<li>MUNA (2022): The band's self-titled third album marked their commercial breakthrough, becoming their first release to chart on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. Tracks like What I Want and Anything But Me earned widespread critical acclaim.4,7</li>
<li>Saves the World (2019): MUNA's sophomore album leaned into themes of self-care and identity, led by the single Number One Fan &mdash; a track about learning to silence your inner critic and back yourself instead.1</li>
</ul>
