DAIISTAR
DAIISTAR is an Alt-Indie band formed in Austin, Texas in the spring of 2020: “Starting a band at the peak of the pandemic to some might seem ill-timed, but to us it was a way to escape for a moment. There was something to look forward to and we kept our heads in the future.” The band takes their inspiration from the neo-psychedelic era of the 80s and 90s (The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, early Primal Scream) and pulls it into the future with modulating synthesizers, heavy guitars, bouncing bass lines, and spiraling hooks, creating a narcotic blend of noise and melody. DAIISTAR recorded their first studio album produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and engineered by James Petralli of White Denim in the summer of 2021. The band signed to UK based label Fuzz Club Records with their debut album Good Time, released late 2023. The album is available on vinyl including a Levitation Exclusive Edition pressing, as well as CD and digital. DAIISTAR has performed at Levitation, Desert Daze (Daze In The City), Austin Psych Fest, Freakout Fest, SXSW, and has toured with The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Dandy Warhols: it’s time to come and play at Levitation France!
