zzzahara

Los Angeles songwriter and guitarist zzzahara brings their hazy, shoegaze-tinged indie rock to The Victoria Dalston in London on 3 November 2026. Known for melodic guitars and plainspoken delivery, they step on stage with Distant Lands, a fourth album that shifts inward. The new songs move beyond romance to sift through family ties, memory, and the fallout of opioid addiction, sparked by a dream of their brother who died when zzzahara was 12. That sense of living between worlds runs through the set, both emotionally and mentally.

The writing leans looser and more instinctive, trading polish for presence. Recent single Speed Racer sets the tone: a track about ebb and flow, trusting your route even when the map blurs. Live, expect textures that nod to their early lo-fi edge while grounding the sound in something steadier, more candid. Growth, acceptance, and the pull to do what feels real frame the night—songs that don’t chase perfection so much as a clear line of truth, carried by guitars that glow and drift without losing their bite.
