Astari Nite

Bio

Astari Nite is an alternative/dark wave band born of the burgeoning indie music scene in Miami. Formed in 2007, the foursome quickly found a niche amongst many of the clubs and stages of their hometown. The band released their self-titled debut EP shortly after they emerged onto the local new wave scene, giving them the opportunity to play live shows while continuing to experiment with their sound. Blending different genres of indie, alternative/dark wave and electronic pop, the band carved out a unique identity and style that appealed to broader audiences. Within a short timespan, Astari Nite became a regular feature at several monthly parties and showcases – and also a favorite among South Florida’s club promoters and music fans alike. The band’s follow-up EPs, Winter’s Gone and Requiem Mass, established them as a regular live act on the club circuit. Astari Nite headlined a steady string of shows throughout 2009-2011 and also opened for such noteworthy national acts as Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), Cold Cave, Modern English and Apoptygma Berzerk. A highlight from this time period in the band’s history was their performance at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival in 2011. Ultra is one of the largest and longest running music festivals in the world, and draws hundreds of thousands of fans each year with headliners such as The Cure, Crystal Castles and New Order. This exposure catapulted their prominence on the local scene and garnered respect amongst their peers as a viable live act with dance appeal. Using the Ultra experience and momentum, the band hit the road for their first tour in support of Requiem Mass, their third studio EP. On the tour they played shows at several venues on the East Coast of the U.S., with both the EP and the tour being well received at stops in Florida, Georgia, New York City and Philadelphia. Astari Nite has also released several music videos, with the band showcased for the first time on screen in True Romance. This black-and-white video tapped into the lyrical world of singer/songwriter Mychael Ghost and was also featured on many prominent web-radio stations and music blogs. Another fan favorite, Astrid was a video diary of sorts and documented the band on their first tour, as they made their way north from their native Florida up the East Coast. Astrid shows the band in a candid setting, experiencing many of the highs and lows associated with being on the road together for an extended amount of time. It wasn’t until meeting with Grammy-award winning producer Stephen Thompson (Whitney Houston, Blues Traveler, Korn) that Astari Nite took their songwriting to a new – and slightly more mature – direction. Thompson seamlessly allowed for their style to find a natural home in the new wave/indie market. After hitting the studio for months on end to find the right combination of feel and technique under Thompson’s direction, Stereo Waltz was released in 2013. The band’s first full-length album featured their acclaimed single, Pyramids. This song highlighted the band’s now-crystalized electro-dance sound and received many accolades from local DJ’s and critics. Pyramids solidified the band’s claim as a viable act on the brink of success, worthy of all the attention they were getting. After undergoing several line-up changes, the band has come into its own with Mychael Ghost (Vocals), Michael Setton (Guitar), Monch Sallons (Bass) and Illia Tulloch (Drums & Keyboard). Their next EP is slated for release in late-2014 on Danse Macabre Records. . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
