zzzahara

On 4 November 2026, zzzahara lands at Green Door Store in Brighton with songs shaped by dreams, distance and sharp-edged indie rock. Born in Los Angeles and writing from a place where bedroom pop brushes shoegaze, they build tracks around melodic guitars and direct, unvarnished vocals. Their fourth album, Distant Lands, emerged after a deep dive into David Lynch and a deliberate return to dreaming, opening a dialogue with their brother who passed away when they were 12. Those heavy, strange visions — drifting through space, trying to reconnect — drive new material that stares down absence and dislocation.

On stage, zzzahara favours clean lines and subtle tension: chiming riffs, steady grooves and hooks that don’t show off, letting the words carry weight. The set folds fresh songs from Distant Lands into earlier cuts from liminal spaces (2022) and Tender (2023), tracing a path from lo-fi sketches to a clearer, still intimate sound. Stories of complicated friendships, blackout nights and attempts to reach what feels just out of frame sit close to the surface, giving the show a candid pulse that matches the writing.
