Alex Althoff
Guitar · Bass
A triple-passport multi-instrumentalist who moves between guitar and bass as easily as he moves between genres. Technical to a fault, and grinning the whole way through.
The story
We’re Sexy Family Friends
Sexy Family Friends are a psychedelic groove collective — hypnotic rhythms, lush harmonies, and a live show that feels like a warm hallucination. Stream the music, catch a show, and say hello.
We started as a Sunday-night jam in a share-house kitchen and never quite stopped. Four friends chasing the same feeling — that hypnotic, hip-swinging pocket where psych, funk, and soul melt together. We record live, we play loud, and we treat every audience like extended family. Pull up a chair.
The Family
Esteban Venegas De Aravena
Vocals · Bass
The band's visionary and host — Esteban holds the space the rest of them play in. His vocals carry cultures and languages across every song, tying the whole thing together.
Sayaka Sasaki
Synths · Textures
Sayaka is the band's je ne sais quoi, layering synths and textures that push a song from great to mesmerising. Level-headed and quietly caretaking, she keeps both the sound and the room in balance.
Sai Garlick
Drums · Vocals
Classically trained and decades deep, Sai plays with a hard-rock heart and a pedal-to-the-metal drive. When the energy dips, they're the one dragging everyone back up to speed.
Thomas Morgan
Bass · Guitar
A rugged mountain of a man with an ear to match. Thomas lays down bass lines smooth as butter and never misses where the music wants to go.
Leon Varela-Mauna
Saxophone
Young but wise beyond his ears, Leon brings a jazz-schooled saxophone to the mix. His playing — and his smile — brighten every room he's in.
