Night Drive
Modern synth-pop that explores the darker currents of abstract emotion
Indie; Rock
Trio
“Back in the Eighties, the world was lousy with bouncy synth-pop duos. But Austin’s Night Drive is reaching beyond imitation. While the era is evoked by their instrumentation, their sound is modern and foreboding on their eponymous debut, out June 16th on Roll Call Records.“ —KUTX 98.9
BIOGRAPHY
Night Drive is the fortunate result of inauspicious circumstances. Co-founders Rodney Connell and Brandon Duhon met after a young woman they were unknowingly both dating was killed in a car crash. The tragic event bonded the two, and became the seed from which the band was born. Perhaps because of the dark events surrounding its inception, Night Drive often focuses on the darker abstract currents of emotion. Inspired by sci-fii cinematic landscapes, they create modern synthpop with infectious melodies wrapped in thoughtful lyrics. Carried along by pulsing dance beats, the result is a stylish and energetic sound that has been featured in film, TV, and radio around the world. Performing alongside modern contemporaries such as Crystal Castles, CHVRCHES, Robert DeLong, and Austra, as well as classic legacy bands such as The Psychedelic Furs, Night Drive has quickly garnered a reputation as a captivating, must see live show.
