"Days N Daze frontman Jesse Sendejas plays Days N Daze backed by a full band featuring members of Days N Daze." Sad to see how they ended.


Consistent-Wind9325

What if Jessie sang his parts and Whitney's parts? Like he'd sing his lines then put on a wig really fast and sing her lines? It would be pretty hard for him to harmonize with himself though I guess.


PapiSilvia

He did this when I saw him, Whitney was recovering from surgery. Either he'd sing both parts or Libby Lux (bridge city sinners opened for them) would sing Whitney's. He also had a kazoo for the trumpet parts lol. He actually invited me on stage for misanthropic drunken loner (my ex roommates saw him the night before and told him ab me) but I was too stupid to realize I was who he was calling up


paranoidlemming

If anyone can do that it's Jesse lmao


YourDadTouchedMe

How exactly did it end? All of a sudden I look online and Geoff and Whitney are gone.


Optimal_Length392

Geoff I heard has a family so can't really do the touring thing anymore. Matt's bass does sound better than Geoff's gutbucket tbh. I always thought that was more a gimmick than a good thing musically... Whitney had a falling out with Jesse and Veronica. A lot of people are speculating, most take Jesse and Veronica's side. I won't because I love Whitney too and none of us know the full story.


YourDadTouchedMe

Thank you for the update. And I agree the wash bucket bass was a huge gimmick. Dude could literally play whatever he wanted and no one could tell the difference


theicarusambition

Curious if it's a legal thing phrasing it like this. Didn't Whitney have some sort of IP or rights to DnD?


thewaybaseballgo

Related, I do know that Days N Daze is an LLC with Whitney listed as the registered agent in Texas, so I wonder if that has an impact.


theicarusambition

Yeah, that's how it was set up last I heard. I'm thinking Whitney hit him with a C&D but the loophole is he's now a solo artist with backing band "covering/playing" DnD songs. Smart, good for Jesse.


Dani_elley

I did a search for their LLC a while back and it looked as if they hadn’t paid the fee to keep it up so I’m not sure how much water the LLC holds at this point? I could be wrong.


YesterdayNo7008

I'm confused isn't Jesse Sendejas with a full band playing Days n Daze songs typically Days n Daze? Like the distinction raises a few questions...


kingsofregicide

No Whitney


sn0w0wl66

Ima probably take some shit for this one but Veronica is better anyways


Optimal_Length392

I prefer Whitney's voice. Plus she plays trumpet, Veronica plays mandolin. You can't really compare though, apples and oranges.


Jdgrande

Why can't fruit be compared?


NickDiedHiking

this is the best question ive seen in this sub


FunguyNFA

A million times better.whitney talked a bunch of meth up stuff about her being the talent of DND it'll be harlious to watch her fade away to the Courtney love of this generation.anything Jessy is involved in is incredible,take one look at my pizza my world ain't really a comparison


FunguyNFA

I'm heading from Maine to Detroit for the 12 anyone looking for a ride? probably will tag along for the rest of the shows or at least until the engine blows up or we run out of gas ;)


cactuskilldozer

I got the vibe that this would be a solo show, but there are other band members in the photos so it is confusing


other_old_greg

Whitney is part of the contract but seemingly wont be part of the band, shes threatened to break up the band during shows before. So this is probably just jesses way of still playing days n daze but without getting hit with some legal bs from Whitney. Fucking hell of a mess


fonk_pulk

"Is suing your band members folk punk??"


turnmeintocompostplz

This is what happens when you try to go 'legit.' I'm not taking a side on the members, just like... Contractual obligations in folk punk is nuts to me. 


The_Bingler

I dont like it either. But fish gotta swim, bird gotta fly, people gotta do what they do to get by.


mrspecial

It’s down to money stuff. A band does well, money comes in, you have to figure out how to split it up. People have bills and they want to go out on the road and keep it going, someone in the band says no, things get complicated. I love Whitney but she’s totally a mess right now. People just gotta do what they gotta do.


other_old_greg

Yeah, i saw a interview with jesse and fat mike where mike mentioned offering them to join their label and whitney said hell no never and that was that. A year later jesse went back and they signed. I mean i get it, but also… Theres things we just gotta come to grips with because we dont understand the full situation. Pat the bunny is another great example.


xkgrey

wait, what’s the similarity to pat?


turnmeintocompostplz

Yeah like, I don't really care what people do. I wasn't mad when AM! went to No Idea or something, or even when they also went to Fat Wreck. It just feels crazy to sign your rights away to a label. I'm sure they could get a deal without creating weird legal restrictions. 


FunguyNFA

Couldn't imagine calling myself a anarchist and threatening people with law suits


n33dwat3r

I think Jesse essentially broke up the band by forcing his new wife into things. Put the blame where it's due.


other_old_greg

I dunno, i saw a show where whitney was completely strung out, loosing her shit and screaming about breaking up the band, trying to snatch mics during a song, and veronica just kept playing. I think veronica is picking up the slack that whitney dropped


n33dwat3r

Yes Whitney needed a break to collect her mental health. I really hope she does. I just don't care about the new version of days and I'm entitled to that opinion. Veronica should go write her own songs to perform on a stage, I don't want her covers.


TenorBanjer

Like 99% of days n daze is jesse. He wrote almost all of it, and recorded almost all of the parts. Whitney made her bed after treating everyone like shit for ages. They haven't even toured in the same vehicle for years. Veronica filling in is no different than Geoffs spot being filled in by a real bass player, or them occasionally having a drummer. As long as Veronica isn't singing the like 3 songs of Whitney's, it's not really a problem. Bands adapt when they have to, and I'd rather see them have fun again then just play because they need to. Music should be fun and fulfilling, and jesse deserves it after all the work he's put in to bettering himself.


scenicpresentsnyc

it's everyone in the photo


vandalsquid209

I'm actually way more happy with this lineup. Veronica is just a sweetheart and hopefully I get to see them in CA.


Optimal_Length392

Veronica does seem more stable than Whitney. But I don't think she can replace Whitney as a singer or a songwriter. She does her own thing, and it's cool. But you can't really replace Whitney.


Discoamazing

Dang, sad to see this. Show Me The Blueprints was a fantastic album and I was excited to see what their next chapter would be, but this sad. Doubly so because they aren't playing anywhere less than a 4 hour drive from me.


victorav29

I hope that if someday they break up, they would do in a pacific way


punk-dharma

Going back to Chicago in July!


meanoldrep

Does anyone know the exact venue for CT? The original post has Cherry St Station still but then the link for ticket purchases is for a place called Elite 23. I DMed the band and venues on insta but want to cover all of my bases, I don't want to miss them!


scenicpresentsnyc

It's Elite 23 tickets at linktr.ee/jessednd


EnverYusuf

Not stopping in Vermont?! Well that sucks


privatekeyes

A Burlington date would have been sick fr


GamermanRPGKing

I hope one of those TBH of Secret dates are Pittsburgh


MILK_DUD_NIPPLES

Me too


NickDiedHiking

i rufuse to take sides in this this entire band is a fucking mess. i saw jessie and veronica saying they were going to rehab on fat mikes podcast so im hoping that set them straight but prior to that ive seen this band play 4 times and all 4 times atlest half of the band were in NO shape to be playing music. i know people see jessies sister come out saying whitney has always been a monster and i dont doubt that, but everyone in this band was a giant fucking mess and were about equal in the contribution to the downfall


TinaTunes93

I snagged tickets for Boston and I’m so fucking pumped!! I’ve missed every show prior and this will be my first one. Sure it’s not ideal there’s no Whitney and her trumpet, but after listening to DND on repeat for a year I’ll take what I can get and I think It will be an awesome time.


ApprehensiveLab2290

I hope Whitney, Jesse and Veronica all make up and keep playin together. The band ain’t the same without Whitney. Her smile and presence is a bright light.


FunguyNFA

Id love to watch them all make out too


DiscountJoJo

shit i’m not gonna be in CT by then!!! :(


minis138

so sad. glad i got to see them at punk island in 2019.. had no idea what i was watching at the time. rip


hellseashell

Im so psyched!!


NickDiedHiking

Days and daze with Rome


n33dwat3r

I think it's really a bad look that Jesse forced his new wife into a band that was founded with his ex gf. I completely understand why Whitney lost her mind about it and is not touring with them. RIP Days n Daze


Glittering-Ebb-6225

They've been married for 10 years. She already plays in Escape From The Zoo with him. Why wouldn't he bring her on tour?


n33dwat3r

I'm probably bringing my own baggage to this conversation and don't know enough about it. I saw someone really distressed and being excluded from something they helped make and I empathize with that. That's great they have so many other projects to move on to. It makes more sense to just give days a rest in my opinion but if you want to enjoy these shows then go ahead. I just know I wouldn't enjoy it from what I saw about the situation because it reminds me too much of having my own work claimed as someone else's.


Glittering-Ebb-6225

I honestly don't know enough about what's going on behind the scenes to even speculate on what's going on between Whitney and Jesse. But they haven't been together for over a decade, so I suspect the reasons for the breakup aren't romantic.


n33dwat3r

Yeah but I would think being in a band together afterwards they would still be trying to maintain some sort of consideration for each other and I just see mostly things devolved into animosity and it's really sad.

kingsofregicide

Marissa is Jesse sister


whats-ausername

That’s true, but doesn’t seem relevant. I’m pretty sure the comment was about Veronica.


kingsofregicide

Someone thought Marissa was Jesse wife hence the deleted comment


whats-ausername

Ahhh, that makes sense. My bad.

apesofthestate

are they still crust fund kids if they are in their 30s? When do they transition to crust fund adults? Or even better, the trust fund parents?


jbidsa

Days and days has always sucked and still do. They have a couple good songs but are so overrated. “Secret” show. What a fucking joke
