The Daze

The Daze formed initially as an outlet for Nick Conolly's songwriting but has since blossomed into a more collaborative effort. The band now revolves around the core members of Nick (vocals, guitars, piano & organ), the virtuosic Joel Bloom (lap steel & dobro), Claire Kuiper (vocals, guitar) and Dale 'G' Thomas (drums, vocals).

The band recently released a 5 track EP 'Street Light Solace' featuring 4 new songs and a remix of an Olinda Daze track 'Itchy Feet' done by one-time member Paul Skelton.

Currently recording the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, expect to see and hear much more from this upcoming Melbourne band.
