About Us.

When The Sun Hits - All things shoegaze.: This blog is run by Amber Crain and Danny Lackey, two gazer obsessed friends interested in keeping shoegaze and dream pop music alive and well. Amber djs a weekly shoegaze and dream pop radio show for both the internet radio station Strangeways and KTRU 91.7fm, based in Houston; she also occasionally djs at various local clubs. Danny performs as a member of My Stars* and Deepfieldview, shoegaze bands based in Alabama. Both are steeped in the history and present of shoegaze and dream pop music, and own far too many records for their own good. (It's not an obsession. We have it under control. Really.) Any bands that would like to have their album reviewed or their band featured on the blog, please contact us at: whenthesunhitsblog@gmail.com. Exposure is where it's at, and we like to give it when we can.
