Local pop-indie band Azura played to a full house for its Malibu debut at the Malibu Inn last Saturday. The band played new songs from its EP “Safe and Sound” in addition to crowd favorites and covers, such as The Beatles’ “She Loves You.”
Band members include Malibu resident Max Farrar on guitar and keyboard, Andy Yeganegi on guitar, keyboard and vocals; Andrew Pae on guitar, Patrick Mullens on bass guitar and Nitin Bajaj on drums.
The band formed in 2009 while a few of the members were attending college at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Four of the musicians attended Viewpoint School in Calabasas.
Notable performances for the band include opening for former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash at the Whiskey A Go-Go, opening for Ryan Cabrera at the Key Club and performing for 15,000 attendees at Dodger Stadium last year for a benefit for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
