'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!

Youtube Videos
At youtube.com/nitesatx, you can watch nearly 300 live concert videos of Austin bands, shot from July 2008 to September 2010.
Lights Go Out is a super-new band (their MySpace account was created in May) formed by Austin scene veterans. Drummer Adrian Carillo plays with metalheads Pack of Wolves and the alt-folk indie band Western Ghost House. Lead singer/guitarist Rich Mendez plays with the hard-rocking High Watt Crucifixers. And bassist Erik Sanger, well, it seems like he lives at Beauty Bar because you always see him around looking dapper; he also played with Trail of Dead later this same night. Lights Go Out is more of an alt-rock/punk 101x-sounding band. Don't take that as a bad thing. This band was pretty good live. And it's always fun watching a band develop from their inception.
