Down The Rabbit Hole:
Daze
Down The Rabbit Hole merely places a spotlight on something slightly unusual that's caught my interest. With the help of Wikipedia, YouTube, and other sites, I gather information and learn something new.
Today, we take a look at the zany turbo-pop of Denmark's Daze.

Daze is a Danish Eurodance band, best known for their singles Superhero, Toy Boy and Together Forever (The Cyber Pet Song). The group's members are Trine Bix, Jesper Tønnov and Lucas Sieber.
Daze started out as Systematixx in 1994, with Trine Bix, Jesper Tønnov, Lucas Sieber and Steen Bay Hansen. But by 1997, Bix, Tønnov and Sieber decided to form a new band, and chose the name Daze, which was a brainchild of RnB producer Karlin.
The group's debut album, Super Heroes, was released in Scandinavia by Sony Music, and sold 31,000 copies. That got the attention of Columbia Records, who released the album in the US and Epic Records, who distributed it in non-Nordic global territories. All in all, it became a double platinum international hit and the group won the Danish Grammy Award for Best Dance Album of 1997.
The lead single, 15 Minutes Of Fame, of their second album, They Came To Rule, seemed to signal that the group was aware their time in the spotlight might be brief. And the clock was, indeed ticking, as it failed to chart anywhere but Sweden, where it peaked at #54. When their second single from the album, prophetically titled, 2nd Chance failed to chart at all, the group's pop tenure was over.
