I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: September 19, 2025] Fazerdaze

Fazerdaze is the creation of New Zealand’s Amelia Murray. I saw them open for Pond last year.  The songs are mostly mellow with gentle psychedelic notions thrown in.  Amelia has a terrific voice and the melodies were quite lovely.  Although overall the vibe was a little too mellow for me.  There were quite a lot of people there to see Fazerdaze.  The woman in front of me sang along to every song and actually left (my area) when they were done.

I didn’t like them enough to see them headline, but I was happy that they came back for another tour.

Maiya Blaney is a New York based, New Jersey born singer, songwriter, and producer. Her unique sound- highly influenced by both 90s grunge and UK electronic music alike- spans radioactive kiss offs, sorrowful meditations on yearning, and gossamer reveries about self-image.

I listened to two of her songs and they each sounded very different from the other.  One was more grungey, the other more trip hoppy.  She has a cool sound overall.
