Artist Information

Biography

Overnight is a band of 4 that come from all over the U.S. and live in New York City.  Each of us is a multi-instrumentalists and full-fledged artist in our own right.  Individually we've played in groups as stylistically diverse as Lauryn Hill, Spacehog, Nas, Rye Coalition, Breech (members of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Brian Jonestown Massacre), and Gliss, among others. From out of our collective musical experience we've cultivated something entirely different. The sound we create together is lush, big and full of the electricity and life of the city we live in.  We make a point of pushing the definitions and boundaries of rock, and never take the beaten path when a bolder move is possible.

The newly released album "These Days are Over" was over a year in the making, entirely self produced, and represents all the disparate elements and influences that each of us brings to the band. With a pallet of vintage synths, samplers, tape echoes, rare microphones and amplifiers, we set out to create a rich musical landscape with a singular statement.

See us live, by the record.
