Well, we love The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, The Allman Brothers get some props, Soundgarden, Lenny Kravitz, G&R, thanks for all the good times! The amazing magicians of Wilco, Aerosmith, The Friggin' Stones are always rocking, Jeff Buckley the sweetest soul, Little Feat for inspiration on how to keep on keepin' on, with a touch of Nilsson.... Dude, Nilsson sings Newman is fuckin' Fantastic!
Sounds Like
A bleeding heart, a revving engine, a black hole eating a shooting star, gettin' busy for the first time, the light bulb above your head, falling in love, seeing red, hauling ass, the cosmos...
But it's been worth the wait. They built the studio, cut an album in it, and scattered it about the country, playing shows in all corners and avenues to people large and otherwise.
On their journeys, Shades of Day has opened for Alter Bridge, Snow Patrol, Blondie, Little Feat, Sugarcult, ALO, Edwin McCain and Devon Allman, in addition to sharing bills everywhere with some amazing unsigned groups.
They've played on a trailer towed by an Ice Cream Truck. They've toured the desert in summertime in an old yellow short bus. They've tried on clothes with Debbie Harry and smoked with Mark Tremonti. They've played many live TV and radio programs in the Santa Barbara/Ventura counties, and are regulars at the popular Wildcat Lounge in Santa Barbara and the Majestic Ventura Theater.
In any combination, they are pure entertainment. If you walked in on some between song banter, you'd feel quite like you were in a comedy. It's a striking and unforgettable contrast to the sincerity and passion of the group's music. The band is always the last to leave every show, making sure to greet all who have come to support. A true, down home rock band all full of heart and soul. They're doing it family style, like The Band... but for the modern age.
They've been voted best band in Ventura County 2006 and 2007. ~ VC Reporter
About the band's debut album:
"...a unique musical journey that on one song might blend influences of the Grateful Dead with Blue Oyster Cult, while on another shoots through hints of bluegrass and jazzy arrangements on its way to a twist of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Strong percussion, melodies and vocals maintain the band's pumped-up classic rock feel that makes your hairs stand on end. But it's the well placed harmonica, sax and other musical goodies that keep listeners wanting to dig around MAYDAY's enticing grab bag of tunes."
~ Chris Fielder VC LIFE AND STYLE
Shades of Day's Debut Album MAYDAY is available for purchase on cdbaby.com, I-tunes, through Paypal on their website shadesofday.net and in a number of independent record stores around the country including Ventura's Salzer's Records.
