Made up of Alex Capistran, Nick Cornetti (drums), Misti Hamrick (bass) and Derek Strahan (keys),
DAIISTAR formed in the spring of 2020. Creating a narcotic blend of noise and melody, the band
takes their inspiration from the neo-psychedelic era of the 80s and 90s and pulls it into the future with
modulating synthesisers, heavy guitars, bouncing bass lines, and spiralling hooks. Their debut studio
album, Good Time, was produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and engineered by James
Petralli of White Denim.
On their incoming debut, Capistran adds: "To us, these songs were a glimmer of light. 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. These songs
guided us through some dark times and hopefully they can do the same for you. GOOD TIME is
here."
