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/dream pop radio show for Strangeways Radio; she also occasionally djs at various local clubs in Houston, TX. Danny performs as a member of Deepfieldview, a shoegaze band 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. To get Amber directly: editorwhenthesunhits@yahoo.com Exposure is where it's at, and we like to give it when we can.
