Indie-Pop band No Vacation originated in San Francisco 2015 and quickly received attention for the nostalgic bedroom-pop sounds off of their debut mixtape, Amo XO, and their surf-rock single, "Dræm Girl." While focusing of their college degrees, No Vacation went through an early hiatus, which resulted in the delivery of their hazy EP Intermission and wildly successful single "Yam Yam”, which has garnered 90 million Spotify streams along with nearly one million YouTube views on a beautifully crafted music video.

In 2019, after relocating to Brooklyn, No Vacation demonstrated the meticulous patience in their craft after releasing their EP Phasing, which consisted of songs that took 1 month to 2 years to complete. The Fader described Phasing as "easily their best yet, eschewing the promising but semi-ironic beach-punk of their early days in favor of smart, beguiling dream pop.”

The quintessence of No Vacation’s songwriting can be described as “a mixure of happiness with a tinge of sadness”, highlighting Sab Mai's signature subdued vocals supported by Nat Lee's classical string and piano background and Harrison Spencer's distinct shoegaze guitars.

The band has relocated numerous times from various coasts. In 2023, Post-Covid, they reside throughout California but have reunited to deliver a standout live performance, nearly selling out an entire West Coast tour and making appearances at California’s Outside Lands and Maryland’s All Things Go festivals. 

No Vacation’s dynamic live set transforms their emotional recordings into sentimental memories filled with energy, dancing and an overly welcoming and loving community. No Vacation has solidified their live performance by having James Shi, (co-writer on Intermission), rejoin them on stage to play drums along with multi-instrumentalist Alex Togashii on synthesizers & cello.
