BLUE MEDUSA's live lineup features guitarists Alyssa Day and Dani Sophia, bassist Alicia Vigil and drummer Delaney Jaster, and the band has so far released three singles: "Crocodile", "Checkmate" and "Flying Monkey". Further shows are already scheduled, including US festival dates this month and October, and European festival appearances stretching into 2027.
