Days N' Daze

Days N' Daze was founded in 2008 by Whitney Flynn and Jesse Sendejas who both grew up in Rosenberg, Texas. They knew each other since high school and had been sweethearts before the founding of the band. In the beginning, they were the band's only members: Whitney Flynn, with a musical background of classical piano lessons at a young age, followed by years as a trumpeter in her junior and high school's marching band. And Jesse Sendejas, a self-taught guitar player, was introduced to music at an early age by his father, a Houston Press music writer. In the beginning, Flynn and Sendejas didn't have enough funds to buy musical equipment to start a proper punk band, so they started playing all-acoustic. Yet in the band's early days the now characteristic trumpet sound was still absent, as Sendejas felt it wouldn't fit the musical style they were playing. However, he changed his mind after about two years of Flynn's persuasive efforts to give it a try. playing washboard, and Freddie Boatright, playing the gutbucket. According to Sendejas, this initial choice of instruments was purely a matter of cost. He and Flynn wanted to play punk music from the start but did not have the funds to buy expensive equipment like drums. Eventually, Flynn dropped out of university without a degree, a decision that has been attributed by some to the immense touring schedule of DnD at the time. The dynamic between Flynn and Sendejas has changed considerably over time. While both are still friendly and equally responsible for writing the music of Days N' Daze, a process Sendejas described graphically as two Maelstroms rotating against each other, Meagan Michelle joined the band in 2014 when their then washboard player was prohibited from crossing state borders for legal reasons. On December 20, 2019, Days N' Daze announced that they are working on a new album. On May 1, 2020, the album Show Me The Blueprints was released. On July 1, 2022, Daze N' Daze added the album Ward off the Vultures to their Spotify. == Side projects ==

They play together in Decathect, a band that rather resembles a "normal" punk band with its layout consisting of vocals (Flynn/Sendejas), guitar, bass, and drums (Sendejas). Flynn plays trumpet in this band as well. The name "Decathect" describes the act of withdrawing one's feelings of attachment from a person or idea in the anticipation of future loss.
