Sunday (1994)

Sunday (1994), a transatlantic indie band led by Paige Turner and Lee Newell, recently had their highly anticipated debut performance at The Echo in Los Angeles. The band, characterized by their DIY ethos and cinematic sound, drew a crowd eager to experience their shoegaze and dream-pop-inspired music in a live setting.

Their setlist included standout tracks from their debut EP, such as "Tired Boy", which is known for its bittersweet lyrics and nostalgic, guitar-driven melody. The band also performed fan favorites like "Stained Glass Window" and "Our Troubles", highlighting their introspective songwriting and visual storytelling approach. The music, often inspired by 90s romance films, melds melancholic tones with a dreamy, lo-fi aesthetic reminiscent of Mazzy Star and My Bloody Valentine.

One of the most striking aspects of their performance was their commitment to authenticity, both musically and visually. In keeping with their ethos of using film over digital formats, their live show exuded a raw, imperfect energy that resonated with their audience, aligning with the themes of imperfection and human experience that run through their music.

The Echo, an intimate venue, provided the perfect backdrop for the band’s ethereal and personal soundscapes. Fans noted that Sunday (1994) captured the emotions of everyday life, heartbreak, and longing in their live renditions, with Paige Turner's delicate vocals blending seamlessly with Lee Newell's textured guitar work.

With a debut EP that has already made waves for its authenticity and depth, Sunday (1994) has positioned themselves as a band to watch. Their DIY approach and unique blend of musical influences suggest they'll continue to captivate both live and on record as they explore themes of love, separation, and nostalgia.
