Days N Daze has opened for several national acts, including The Infamous Stringdusters, M.D.C., New Zealand's Night Gaunts, Cancerslug and Black Flag founder Chuck Dukowski's Sextet.

Days N' Daze was founded in 2008 by Whitney Flynn and Jesse Sendejas who both grew up in Rosenberg, Texas,. They knew each other since high school and had been sweethearts before the founding of the band. In the beginning they were the band's only members: Whitney Flynn, with a musical background of classical piano lessons at a young age, followed by years as a trumpeter in her junior and high school's marching band. And Jesse Sendejas, a self-taught guitar player, who was introduced to music at an early age by his father, a Houston Press music writer. In the beginning, Flynn and Sendejas didn't have enough funds to buy musical equipment to start a proper punk band, so they started playing all acoustic. Yet in the band's early days the now characteristic trumpet sound was still absent, as Sendejas felt it wouldn't fit the musical style they were playing. However, he changed his mind after about two years of Flynn's persuasive efforts to give it a try.
