Nightfur the band

Hey everybody, if you haven't already heard, I am playing drums in a band called Nightfur! Nightfur was formed in late 2006 with Jason Brown and Skot Gillies. In 2007 we started playing shows in and around Los Angeles. Venues you may find us playing include Spaceland, El Cid, Pehrspace, and Bordello. In late Summer of 07 we self released a full length album with 14 original songs entitled "She Lives". We are now selling the CD for $5.

Apart from a clear knack for melody as well as admirable attention to detail, there is an intriguing undercurrent of desolation and menace throughout, adding considerable depth to what would otherwise be fairly straightforward songs. This disparity is put to captivating effect: lush Motown harmonies are layered on top of sinister guitars; a melodic bass line becomes ominous beneath snarling distortion. Nightfur has succeeded in producing a record that is stylistically cohesive yet still musically varied and above all easily accessible..."

"It's hard not to fall for Nightfur's recently-released debut She Lives, what with its winsomely melancholic heart, smarty pants lyrics, and fuzzy 60s psyche pop sound... It's one of those rare albums where you have a difficult -- but pleasant -- time picking your favorite track from its numerous charmers..."
