Welcome to 'NITES
'NITES was an Austin-based blog that covered the local music scene in Central Texas. I started this blog because I love live music and I think Austin is the best city in the world to discover talented new bands. I ran this blog with passion and enthusiasm for a few years, before growing apart from the scene I'd once lived and breathed. This blog spent a year in limbo before I made the final decision to shutter it. The blog's previous posts will remain live, but there will be no future updates. Thanks for your years of readership and feedback. It was fun while it lasted, but times change. People change. Scenes change. Change isn't something to fear, but rather something to embrace. Peace, love and rock 'n' roll, y'all. Feel free to dig through the archives for photos, videos and writeups about Austin music from 2008 to 2010. If you use my work anywhere, please give me credit. Thanks!

Episode#5: iKiLLCaRS
We're doing things a little differently this week. Instead of one 15-minute episode, 'NITES will upload two 10-minute episodes, featuring two bands filmed at the same show. First we have thundering mid-tempo punk rock from iKiLLCaRS (yes, that's the official spelling). The trio lists its influences as "trainwrecks, car crashes, and other audible catastrophes". Yeah, that sounds about right. Speaking of wrecks and crashes, this set delivers one of the best finishes I've seen in, well, a long time. Trust me. Also, check back on Thursday for the second episode. And if you're in Austin, iKiLLCaRS plays at Mohawk on Thursday night.
Filmed July 12, 2008 at The Hole In The Wall on Guadalupe St and Dean Keaton.
Songs:
1. "Hartsfield-Jackson"
2. "Donuts (Make Great Girlfriends)"
3. "Radio Roche"
