NITE
Kyle and Myles were born in Winnipeg and grew up on their dad's Cure DVDs, which is the origin story they still point to when anyone asks how two twins ended up making music this hard-wired to the 80s. They landed in Dallas, started NITE as a producer-brothers project, and put out their debut I Am Not Afraid in 2013. Reborn followed in 2017, Sleepless in 2020 (with a remix companion the following year), and the Hallelujah Your Ego is Gone EP in 2022. Somewhere in there drummer Phil Helms (formerly of The Vanished) joined the live lineup, and NITE turned into a band that could actually deliver on record and on stage in equal measure.
NITE’s last few years have been exciting with their successful releases of “All Your Pain Have Mercy,” “Price For Heaven,” and “Our Light Will Never Die.” On the road they've shared bills with Dead on a Sunday, The Funeral Portrait, Small Black, Empathy Test, The New Division, Mystery Skulls, Clean Bandit, A Flock of Seagulls, Midge Ure, Howard Jones, and Berlin, which is a wildly diverse touring history that somehow makes complete sense once you hear them. Their 2026 tour is mid-run right now, thirteen dates across twelve cities from May through August.
There's some real history here too! NITE were guests on one of the AL1CE pandemic-era livestreams, and years before that they shared a bill with Tash's other band Mankind Is Obsolete back on one of the early Alice Project tours. Two eras, two projects, and now the third crossing, this time as a proper long-form conversation and reunion on the show.
Beyond NITE, the twins produce for other artists, run their own studio setup on Reason software and Korg Minilogues, wield matching Fender Jaguars on stage, and have even landed commercial placements including a Ford Mustang spot in China. Their Alice in Chains "Would?" cover picked up its own following, and that willingness to reach outside the darkwave lane is a big part of why the touring bill diversity works so well for them.
Whether you caught NITE on the Empathy Test tour, danced to All Your Pain at a goth night, sang along to Have Mercy in your car, or you're meeting the band for the first time, this is a conversation with the twin brothers at the heart of a Dallas darkwave act that spent ten years earning the moment they're now living inside, catching up with an old friend of the Alice Project along the way.
