Mazzy Star

Described variously as dreamy, moody, and unusual, Mazzy Star created its own musical galaxy by mixing blues, country, psychedelic, and acoustic folk into skyrocketing success. From the beginning of the band's career, critics consistently compared their airy, ethereal sound to groups of a different era, like the Velvet Underground, the Doors, and the Beatles. The massively influential legends that are Mazzy Star will play their first show in Ireland in over a decade, at the Forbidden Fruit Festival.

Their fuzzy guitar workouts and plaintive folky compositions are often suffused in a dissociative ennui that is very much of the 1990s, however much their textures may recall the drug-induced states of vintage psychedelia.
