Daydream Machine is based out of Portland, Oregon and its current members are B. Graham Mild, Josh Kalberg, Jsun Atoms, and Jonathan Allen. The band blends West Coast neo-psychedelia, darkwave, post-punk, Brit-pop, and shoegaze on its music.

The band has performed at festivals such as Austin Psych Fest (Levitation) and Desert Stars Festival and has opened shows recently for the bands Jagwar Ma, Kula Shaker, Dead Meadow, The Allah La’s, The Black Ryder, Elephant Stone, Rain Parade, Asteroid #4, Hinds,* David Kilgour & The Heavy Eights*, Besnard Lakes, and Cellar Doors.

Daydream Machine’s second LP, The Show Must Not Go On, was tracked at Gregg Williams’ studio The Trench (Blitzen Trapper, Dandy Warhols 13 Tales From Urban Bohemia) and then lyrics were written in Jamaica after tracking. Guest appearances include: Dandy Warhols’ Peter Holmstrom, Federale’s Colin Sheridan, The Upsidedown’s Matt Moore, and M. Ward / Rick Bain keyboardist Nathan Junior. The album was mixed by Jonathan Allen.

The Big Takeover premieres the cinematic black ‘n’ white video for psych rocker “Coup de Grace.”
