Makin Waves with
Daughter Vision

In an increasingly harrowing re-
ality, Daughter Vision are an oth-
er-worldly female-fronted synth-
pop performance-art four-piece
from Asbury Park whose audience
and material has grown greatly
since a local singer-songwriter
named Emily Grove joined the
8-year-old band relatively recent-
ly. But in the inter-dimension reali-
ty of the space-and-time-traveling
band, vocalist Amarna Yoni, as
she is known in Daughter Vision,
is a former Egyptian ruler, who
found bass/synth player Stephen
H. Christ, guitarist Val Challah and
drummer Bob Dammit in the cos-
mos. She subsequently helped
turn last year’s three-song “DV
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 70
EP” into their best record yet.
With many of their gigs in a
holding pattern because of the
virus crisis, including Makin
Waves@Happy Mondays 2020 on
June 1 at the Wonder Bar in As-
bury, Daughter Vision most likely
will be celebrating the Solstice
live at the Parlor Gallery, also in
Asbury, having had to resched-
ule their recurring Equinox show
there. They also hopefully will get
to perform July 25 at Old Frank-
lin Schoolhouse in Metuchen and
Aug. 21 at Atlantic Highlands Art
Council. In the meantime, enjoy
the following chat with Stephen
and Amarna on behalf of their
bandmates.
