Days N Daze Coming To 7th Street Entry 5/6

Days N Daze became a staple in my daily playlist the first time I heard them. To say I’m excited to catch them at The Entry on Sunday, May 6th would be an understatement. Houstonians Whitney Flynn and Jesse Sendejas formed Days N Daze as a duo in 2008. Since then, they’ve taken on different musicians to create a full recording and touring band. Presently, the band’s rhythm section includes bassist Geoff Bell and percussionist Meagan Melancon. Flynn and Sendejas remain the band’s principal songwriters. The group’s sound has been described as “riot folk” or “thrashgrass.” Song themes run the gamut from social (gang violence, terrorism, annihilation of the environment for corporate pocket-lining, the mundane and unavoidable anxieties of modern life, et al) to recreational (how the fuck did we end up in jail?). Days N Daze embraces the D.I.Y. ethic by recording, packaging and promoting its music independently.

DnD is best known for is its live shows, which are energetic to the point of audience members stripping their clothes off in ecstatic, music-induced jubilation (or, too much PBR). The band has performed throughout the United States and Canada in venues ranging from house shows to festivals. DnD independently booked and promoted a full U.S tour with New Zealand’s Night Gaunts after their split release in 2015. They also had the privilege to tour with Leftover Crack and featured on LOC’s newest album Constructs of the State. On the road, DnD has played the D.I.Y. staple Mountain Blood Fest, at Skatopia’s Bowl Bash and has played multiple sold out shows across the states including New York City and Los Angeles. At home, it performs routinely at well-regarded spaces such as Walter’s and Warehouse Live. The band was honored to be awarded Best Punk Act in 2015 by The Houston Press.

Opening the show will be Florida’s heaviest skate punk trio– The Antidont’s and then a local favorite of mine– Drones.

Tickets are still available here.
