| Azure Ray > Albums & Lyrics |
Azure Ray hails from Athens, Georgia, the city that spawned bands like R.E.M. and the B52s. Maria Taylor (vocals/guitars/keyboards) and Orenda Fink (vocals/bass/guitars/trumpet/etc.) are the women who make up the band, sharing the vocal duties. Taylor says their voices are similar, and people often can't tell the difference between the songs that she sings and the songs Fink sings.
Although they started up in Athens, Azure Ray is now based out of Omaha, Nebraska. They moved there in part because their boyfriends are located in Omaha and also in order to take part in the growing music scene in Omaha. The band is on Warm Records, but has released an EP (November) with Saddle Creek. Taylor and Fink also play in Now It's Overhead, backing vocalist Andy LeMaster. Fink also works with Japancakes.
Aside from side projects, Taylor and Fink have also collaborated with many other artists, such as Moby (they co-wrote and performed "Great Escape" on 18) and Bright Eyes.
Azure Ray just came off of an extensive tour with Bright Eyes and Now It's Overhead, so there are very few tour dates scheduled right now.
