Bio


NITE is a band from Dallas, Texas – From burgeoning rock and rolled into a thrashing metal anthem, surged with the fire of 80s synth “Good Boy” bellows out of your speakers and into your consciousness. It’s NITE taking over. 


The twin duo of Kyle and Myles Mendes are the masterminds behind NITE - the electronica- 
infused dream rock dominating musical and lyrical soundscapes with its swooping industrial undertones and electric guitar overtones. “Good Boy” they say, is an anthem about saying no to addiction, and unhealthy relationships. 

“Since the instrumentation set up the song to be more grungy, we wanted the lyrics to be 
playful, almost vindictive,” NITE explains, “‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’” by Twisted Sister was a reference for how we wanted the chorus to sound. We wanted to repeat a strong and spiteful message. We paced in circles writing the lyrics, while Myles’ black cat knocked everything he could off the table at our feet. He may have inspired the title and chorus, and he is featured in the ‘Good Boy’ music video.” 

The visual component is a dark testament to the resounding emblematic “Good Boy” lyrics. 
NITE doesn’t intend to hide in the shade, but rather embrace the blackness of shadow from the song itself. “We were influenced to delve into the horror drama by playing the video game, ‘Dead By Daylight’ with our friends. This is a horror/survivor game featuring killers like Michael Myers, Freddie Crougar, and Ghost Face. We researched classic horror films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and Saw which inspired us to create our own Killer. We chose our Too Spooky mascot to be the Killer: a black cat with a wicked, red smile. Dressed in all black and weilding a knife, we think he fits the archetype perfectly.” 

The fusion of the song came together in NITE’s own home studio, where their creativity was 
able to thrive in their own developed spaces. “Both of us have our own home recording studios where we track our instruments and vocals. The bass riff was the first instrument we tracked for ‘Good Boy.’ It set the tone for a dark, gritty dance anthem,” they say. “After the instrumental was completed we tracked our drummer, Phil, in our rehearsal space. We hope that we captured the intense energy we express on stage in the recording.” 

NITE has already garnished bigwig accolades, and praise, having shared stages alongside 
Small Black, The New Division, DREAMERS, The Griswolds, Clean Bandit, Midge Ure 
(Ultravox), and Modern English. Their Sleepless album dropped in 2020 (Cleopatra), followed by the album’s remix in 2021. Their dark wave cover of Alice in Chains’ “Would?” foreshadows what they call a new darker direction for the band’s intended musical journey to come. And as we wait for NITE to come with a dream-packed punch of dark, hard, industrial rock, we’re able to dance, groove, and embody this latest single. Like a “Good Boy”. - Eric Alper
