I saw Mazzy star at Coachella in 2012, I was in the first row by the barricades. Freshly 18, starry eyes, they closed with "So tonight that I might see" There were two women next to me that happened to NOT be drinking and this caught my eyes. Why were there two older women next to me so serene in a crown of thousands, smoking drinking and chanting? I look closer and one woman, the younger one, is sporting a "Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star JAPAN" tour tee, I was in shock. I tapped the woman and began to gush to her about how amazing that show might've been. She waited for me to stop gushing, thanked me, and explained her sister had given it to her, so I start saying how lucky her sister is to have witness that. She blushed and laughs again and this time points to the stage. I was confused, however, she began saying her sister's name is "hope" and that this was a gift from a tour bc her sister couldn't go with her. I began to freeze and the older woman turns around. Its Hope Sandoval's mother. She begins to tell me how all this started, how hope would sneak out to watch concerts and that one of her favorite bands, JAMC, helped inspire the sounds. Hope is from east La/ Boyle Heights, which I also grew up around. It ws crazy that in that see of people, I linked up with Hope's family, who also originated from the same spaces I did. I will never forget this moment.

She remains an alternative artist of the highest quality and integrity. She has kept her mystique intact by carefully not exploiting herself, & by not seeking celebrity culture or tolerating unwanted publicity. Her music must speak for itself - strictly without her beauty as a distraction or the emphasis. This approach gives her music a distinct, timeless quality and it often gives her unique voice a haunting elegance. She's that rarity that's often imitated, but never quite duplicated.

Growing up somewhat close to East LA during the 90s, a couple of my female teenage cousins introduced me to Mazzy Star and they were really excited that Hope was from that area and Mexican American like us too...this was during a time when Mexicans in Hollywood were basically still portrayed as just being either maids or gardeners and along comes this musically talented young woman. Another one in a line of talented Mexican Americans like Vikki Carr, Joan Baez, Selena (RIP) and Linda Ronstadt before her...

I was at that Sydney Opera House Show that you mentioned & if you knew all of their Work, the Show was freakin' AMAZING!!!!!!! You want to know why people talked trash about the Gig? I'll tell you. They dampened the lights, so that everyone could just "drift" with the Music. It was Exquisitely beautiful. But!... A huge portion of the audience was there for one Song & one Song only. It was quite clear, as you were hearing a fair bit of distracted "murmuring" throughout the evening. The crowd just didn't understand what they were watching. They were obviously used to "Pop" sensibilities & so an evening of "Psychedelic Swirl" that didn't revolve around a lurid lightshow, just didn't make sense to them, I guess. (Shrugs) So numerous people started walking out to get refreshments or use the amenities, expecting "The Song" to be safely tucked away amongst the encores & when enough people had left, they Played "Fade Into You" mid-set as a "F@#$ You" to the "fake fans" who had insulted them so & interrupted the evening of all of those of us whom were there to hear whatever they wanted to Play. When these people whom had walked out, walked back in halfway through the Song, or missed it completely, they lost their $#!+ & started smearing the Quality of the Show. Which for the record was "par excellence". That's "Punk Rock" & f@#$ anybody who trash talked that Show. They're just petty, malignant Scum... #MazzyStar4Lyf!!!!!!!

Back in the early 90s, I was DEEP in to the grunge / alternative rock music scene and it felt like I was discovering a new amazing band each day. Mazzy Star was one of them. I actually managed to get ahold of their first record before they became popular. I thought it was an interesting record and Hope's voice was...haunting. Airy, soft, delicate, and at times playful. It was because of this that their music instantly made me think of the girl I was into at the time. Surprisingly, she looked somewhat similar to Hope. Since then every time I heard Hope's voice and Mazzy Star's music it made me think of that girl. She eventually broke my heart and that stayed with me. It was a curse in that sense but at the same time, it only made me listen to that first record more. Then So Tonight That I Might See came out and I instantly bought it and listened to it. It was just a perfect record. To this day, even now as I watched this video and heard the music playing, it reminded me of that girl, MY Hope, and it made me tear up a little. Funny how our hearts never seem to forget those sorts of connections.

It was such a great show, though, so intimate, maybe a hundred people there. I'd give anything to see her perform in a setting like that again.

The band members were so broke they couldn't afford a pack of cigarettes so I scrapped together some pennies and purchased a pack for the guys. Almost everyone at the house gig hated the Rain Parade. I loved them. They played maybe 4-5 songs and said enough. Dave said to me, nobody wants to hear us. I didn't realize that would be my only live experience with what people were calling The Paisley Underground. I am grateful for that brief moment. I didn't know anything about the LA underground scene at the time but I know that I loved The Rain Parade and then Opal- Mazzy Star. The first Mazzy Star and Opal albums used to be in the cut out bins of every record store. We miss you Dave.

We stayed at the Fitzgerald and had a pretty good night at Circus Circus on the slots and decided a top off at the bar Slots of Fun would be the last leg of the Vegas stretch . So we're sitting at the bar and the girl next to us asked us how we were doing . She was so happy for us and couldn't believe we were a father and daughter hanging out trekking , right. Then she says she's in a punk band we probably never heard of ....Mazzy Star !?! Holy shit , you gotta be kidding me . I've got you're album . All I remember after that was pink shots and smiles . We woke up in an old looking town with fake facades for filming old spaghetti westerns . 12 ft chain link fences for catching tumbleweeds, you know . I grabbed a tumbleweed and we continued on our journey . I think the next stop was Crater Lake . Well from what I remember , I'll never forget , that beautiful soul we met that night .

8/2023: WoW. This is wonderful and so educational. They were great. I first heard "Fade Into You" early in the morning on FM radio. I was working the night shift as a telephone and satellite switching technician, alone in a large building. The song was so haunting and just sucked me in. The station played the song every night/early morning. I never missed hearing it. Always a wonderful memory and a favourite song of mine. They were a great song writing pair. Thank You So Much for this wonderful biography of Hope and the "band". Two very sad losses. I have been subscribed to this channel for quite some time now. Best Regards

Thanks so much for putting this together. Hope and all the band have been amazing through the years and got me thru some tough times. Someone there understands and music says so. I have listened to Into Dust so many times. Thanks so much to Hope, David, Keith, Suz and all the rest. Love always.

I remember Mazzy Star like it was yesterday, back in the early to mid 90s. It was a great time for "alternative" music.

when i was 14 they were at the metro in Chicago. i was on the floor about 6 rows back or so and for whatever reason she decided to stare into my eyes for like 15 seconds straight. me being basically a child i felt compelled to break from her gaze but i forced myself not to because, well, it's her. a truly unforgettable moment

I'm 56 & couldn't believe I'd never heard of Mazzy Star until a random vid popped up on youtube a couple of years ago...I thought I was listening to something from the sixties...I was absolutely mesmerised & had to look for more of their songs & history. Nothing to do with how beautiful Hope is lol. Now this vid pops up which I viewed from beginning to end...very informative & interesting...with thanks 👍

I was a massive fan of all their songs, Mary of silence is an amazing song, big spooky stooges vibe on the guitar and the song "so tonight that I might see" is one of the few songs Ive ever heard that really catches the spirit of the velvet underground at their best. Robacks guitar and her voice together were magical. They were not "grunge" or "goth" and never associated or identified themselves with either of those scenes. They were a psyche folk/rock band influenced by velvet underground/Neil Young/Marychain/Galaxie 500/Stones/shoegaze/80s dream pop etc.

This brings back so many memories. When I was living in Prague in the 90s I would listen to Mazy Star often especially when homesick. Thanks for posting this. ❤

I was almost 20 when Fade Into You was released and was into that music genre. I can't believe I first heard that song in 2019 when watching Sens8.

I still to this day love Fade Into You. As soon as heard the song and seen the video on MTV back then, I was in love with Mazzy Star. I made sure to buy their cd as soon as I got paid at my part time job whichever week it was back then. I still have that particular album too.

I really wonder what she is doing now. I kind of wish she'd come out of the shadows and release something, but, hearing what she went through to make magic like that is heartbreaking. I just hope she is happy with what she has accomplished-- because it is timeless and great--and that she will continue making music if it makes her happy. It seems it would take a lot of strength and courage to figure out what to do and how to live after all that.

I recently sent her a birthday card. I wonder if she ever got it. I thanked her and I wrote: When I hear her, I feel that I'm in her dream. When I dream of her, I feel like I'm in her song.

All of Mazzy’s albums are amazing. Hope is such an iconic vocalist, So tonight that I might see is definitely one of my top 10 forever albums. Also, how was Fade into you not #1? Definitely on the all time top 10 list of songs from the 90’s.

The message I've always perceived from Hope is, "liking my music or making money from it gives nobody the right to own or judge me. Fck off". It's always made me smile inside. She's her own person and genuine in today's sea of shallow, look-at-me, entitled fake virtue.

I saw them with The Jesus and Mary Chain at 1st Ave in Minneapolis, 1996(7?). It may have been the single most melancholy and muted show physically and emotionally possible. I still talk about it to this day, remembering it both vividly and fondly.

Nothing happened to hope Sandoval. She’s still active in the music industry. Just because her albums aren’t mainstream doesn’t mean she is gone or no longer relevant. Take the group “ the church” or Brian eno for instance. They have been around for many decades. But, because they’re not mainstream doesn’t make them slide into obscurity.
