In 2021, the band expanded its lineup to ten, adding new vocalistsLester Chambers and his sonDylan Chambers, plus T Sisters Erika, Chloe and Rachel Tietjen. Their music currently is focused on the "Psychedelic Soul" sound innovated by Lester in the 1960s with his bandThe Chambers Brothers.[13]
On August 28, 2012, theRock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that the digital logs for the Moonalice song "It’s 4:20 Somewhere",[14] had been acquired for the Library and Archives.[15] "Libraries and archives collect, preserve and provide access to the materials that best capture important moments and movements in history, regardless of format, and the Moonalice logs help tell the story of music’s digital revolution; specifically the rise of direct-from-artist (DFA) distribution. Moonalice is the first band without a label to achieve one million downloads of a song from its own servers, direct-from-artist. “It’s 4:20 Somewhere” has been downloaded over two million times."
