Daze was a Danish Eurodance/Bubblegum dance band whose 1997 debut album Super Heroes became a double platinum international hit.[1] The band was a trio composed of Lucas Seiber, Jesper Tønnov, and Trine Bix,[2] and their style of "zany" "turbo-pop" music was compared to the Danish-Norwegian pop band Aqua.[1][3] Super Heroes, initially published in Scandinavia by Sony Music, sold 31,000 copies on the release day and was later released in the United States by Columbia Records and in Non-Nordic global territories by Epic Records.[3][4] Hit singles included Superhero, Tamogotchi and Toy Boy. In February 1998, Daze won the Danish Grammy Award for Best Dance Album of 1997.[5] The single Superhero was nominated as 1997 Danish hit of the year by G.A.F.F.A. magazine.[6]

The band's music was inspired by Aqua, Dr. Alban and Herbie Crichlow.[7]
