“Contagious” initiates a sense of spreading; in the case of Night Riots, it’s their unique sound.

Hailing from the small town of Templeton, California yet establishing a big sound, Night Riots showcases the talent and charisma of Travis Hawley (lead vocals), Mikel van Kranenburg (bass, vocals), Nick Fotinakes (guitar, vocals), Matt DePauw (guitar, keyboard), and Rico Rodriguez (drums). Shortly following the self-release of their debut EP Young Lore in 2013, they made their name and mark in the Big Apple at the CMJ Music Marathon in October 2014, signing to Sumerian Records. The much-anticipated release of their sophomore EP, Howl (via Sumerian), initiated the excitement of 2015 for the band. Later that year, in the summer, they traveled all over the country, performing on the entire Vans Warped Tour. Having opened for prominent acts including K.Flay and Young Rising Sons and having performed at various festivals such as Radio 94.7’s City of Trees in Sacramento, California and this year’s LIVE 105’s BFD in Mountain View, California, they will continue to spread their beautifully crafted precious sound at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware in mid-June, in addition to Riot Fest in both Denver, Colorado and Chicago, Illinois in September.

Having just wrapped up an extensive nationwide tour with Blaqk Audio and Charming Liars and now preparing for a busy summer of touring and festivals, it is easy to say that the band is surely marching towards success and quickly-growing buzz. Taking a pause from long drives and packed schedules, Travis, Nick, and Rico kindly shared some of their time and thought before their show at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City on May 22 to discuss some memorable moments they have had on tour thus far and where they are with their debut record, but most importantly, their favorite Ewoks from Star Wars.

13

What’s a favorite memory you have had on tour so far?

TRAVIS: We’ve had a collective of twelve hours of sleep over the last three weeks. Most of the drives have been fourteen hours. Just not getting in a terrible accident—we’ve had a ton of breakdowns. So I think for me, my favorite part is that we’ve made it to every single show.

NICK: My favorite memory that I don’t have is when I fell asleep playing Settlers of Catan with my friends because I was very tired. I fell asleep with my phone in my hands, and they woke me up, thinking I was driving.

TRAVIS: He thought he was supposed to be driving, so he woke up and yelled. He was like, “Go!” and then he was like, “I’ll drive! Pull over!” And then we were like, “No, no, no, it’s your turn!”

NICK: And then I spilled almonds all over the floor of the van.

TRAVIS: We were in the middle of a game. He was in the middle of a turn. He was making moves, and all of a sudden, we were sitting in the back; I was waiting, and I thought he was just thinking. And then I looked up, and he still had his hands propped up. I was behind, so I peeked over, and I see his hands. I looked all the way over, and his eyes were just shut.

How did you learn or pick up your respective instrument(s)?

RICO: I have two older brothers; one played guitar, and one played bass. They were very good, and when I was five years old, I realized that meant I had to play the drums—it was my destiny.

TRAVIS: I started off playing drums, and then I started playing guitar. I was friends with Matt in high school, and we just started jamming together, and there was a point when he was like, “You sing.” And I said, “You sing.” And then I wrote the first song with lyrics, and then I started singing.

NICK: My story is I loved The Muppets when I was a kid, and I loved the band they had, Animal and Gonzo. I loved Gonzo because he had a big nose like me, so I wanted to play guitar, and then after that, I used to watch Doug Funnie a lot. I liked Doug because he wore the same clothes every day, and so did I. He had a band and did stuff. There was a guitar later in the house, so I picked it up, and tried to get Travis and all these other guys to be my friends, and they wouldn’t be my friends for a long time.

TRAVIS: Didn’t you learn bouzouki first?

NICK: I played the bouzouki first.

TRAVIS: Nick’s Greek, so his dad had a bouzouki.

NICK: He made me make a bouzouki myself out of an olive tree. I had to chop it down and whittle a bouzouki, and I played it. So that was my first instrument.

You have been working on your debut full-length album, which is super exciting! Can you touch on the inspiration and the process of creating it thus far?

TRAVIS: We’re on the last mix of the last song on the record. We have a bunch we’re dealing with, and we’re kind of just figuring out tracklisting and the whole aesthetic and vibe for the record. So that’s where we are.

NICK: Basically, we were in the studio for six weeks before this tour started. Right before we left, we finished up the recording process, started mixing, and like Travis was saying, we’re finalizing and putting the last touches on it. I’m excited.

16

Which song (released or unreleased) are you most proud of?

NICK: There’s this new song we have (I don’t know what it’s going to be called) I just really like. It’s tentatively called “Broken” right now. I also really like our song “Back to Your Love.” I think it’s one of our favorites and one that I’m proud of, I would say.

TRAVIS: There’s a new song called “Nothing Personal” I really like.

RICO: I like “Broken,” too.

NICK: We’ll probably scrap both of those.

What happens before you go onstage? Is there a Night Riots pre-show ritual?

NICK: We usually quote some sort of movie or something.

RICO: Typically anything from Gladiator.

TRAVIS: I think we usually just gather together. I think that’s the most important part. I’ve found that when we’ve played a show and we were all separated. There’s something weird that happens when we perform; I’ve found that there’s a little bit of a disconnect. We all kind of meet up, and then go onstage. That’s just always our routine, just connecting.

NICK: Do a little huddle, give a chant, and I’m ready to get up there.

RICO: Just being in the same space for a bit.

How and when do you decide on the setlist/tunes you plan to share at a show?

TRAVIS: We usually rehearse before we go out. We kind of look at it like a playlist, like a mixtape you would give to a person. We kind of cater it to that. We want to take people on a journey, so we sort of carve the setlist around that kind of idea.

NICK: Not necessarily by the city, but the show itself. We try to put it together as if you were going to go see a play or a musical; it’s kind of planned like the song order. We want it to go on a certain journey like Travis was saying, so we’ll spend a good amount of time before we leave hashing that out before the tour starts. For the most part, the set stays the same.

What’s your favorite restaurant and/or food in NYC?

NICK: Halal King—I think that’s a food truck we found one time when we were in Brooklyn. I think that’s the one we like. I like pizza, too.

17

If there a pizza with the name “Night Riots,” what toppings would it have?

NICK: Anchovies.

TRAVIS: Capers.

RICO: Peanut butter.

NICK: That’s it, no bread.

RICO: It’s more of a stew.

NICK: On the fish—on the anchovy—there’s some peanut butter.

TRAVIS: It would be foggy.

NICK: There would be some fog on it.

TRAVIS: We would basically make a diorama.

NICK: I thought you said diarrhea. It will give you diarrhea. We’re probably not the best. Matt and Mikel would probably have a better response, but they’re probably eating pizza right now.

You’re at the end of tour and getting ready for festivals. While on the road, do you have a tour essential of some sort?

TRAVIS: A sound guy.

NICK: But almost more importantly, a Nintendo DS. TRAVIS: 3DS. NICK: 3DS, Mario Kart 7, specifically.

RICO: 3DS, XL. NICK: Shy Guy Team. If we don’t have a sound guy, we sound bad.

TRAVIS: If we don’t have Mario Kart, then...

NICK: We’re bad people.

TRAVIS: We’ve had the best sound guy in the whole United States.

NICK: His name’s Marshall. The Nintendo DS is the item essential, and then as a band, the sound guy is the tour essential.

TRAVIS: Every venue is different, so having somebody who’s consistent and knows what you’re playing just makes you feel more confident when you’re playing. You know that he’s going to know a part that is louder than another one, and you know he’ll know to balance a part that is different. It just makes you feel confident when you’re onstage.

To top off the interview, who’s your favorite Ewok from Star Wars?

NICK: Oh, my favorite Ewok? Tarfang.

RICO: That’s a great question. I’ll probably take Chief Chirpa; he’s a leader.

NICK: Chief is so nice. I think Travis might like Paploo.

TRAVIS: Paploo’s pretty cool.

NICK: Is Tarfang the troublemaker?

TRAVIS: Who’s the force sensed one?

NICK: It wasn’t Chirpa; he was just a chief.

RICO: You can’t go wrong with Wicket. He’s pretty cute, pretty small. Teebo has a cool amulet.

NICK: Teebo—it might have been Teebo. Travis likes Teebo because there’s a “T” in his name, too. So he has always kind of related to Teebo. That was a great question—thank you for asking that.

Featured Artist • Beach Weather •

/beachweathermusic

Looking on the bright side resulted in Beach Weather. Formed in 2015, Beach Weather features Nick Santino (vocals, guitar), Austin Scates (drums), and Reeve Powers (bass), who are originally from Braintree, Massachusetts, Nashville, Tennessee, and Phoenix, Arizona, respectively. Shortly following their formation, the band released their debut EP What A Drag via Eighty One Twenty Three. To support and promote the EP, they toured nationwide with The Maine on the Free For All Tour and the American Candy (in full) Tour in the fall of 2015.

Currently sharing their sound all over the country, alongside CRUISR and Lydia, they are opening for PVRIS; they stopped at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on May 24. Generously putting time aside, Nick rewinds to the beginning of the Beach Weather, in addition to diving deeper into the creation of What A Drag and how much sleep he gets while he’s out on tour.

21

What’s the story behind the formation of Beach Weather?

I wanted to start a new band, and so I started writing some new music. Shortly after, Beach Weather was born!

What was the first instrument (musical or non-musical) you started making music with?

I played saxophone in middle school. It really didn’t last long, but I actually still have it. Maybe I should pick it back up.

You released your debut EP What A Drag just last fall.

What was the process of writing, recording, and producing it?

It started as just writing new music. Really before the thought of starting something new even came into my head. It was more so writing for fun to see what came out of it. Then I decided to record them and release it and start a new band haha. It was fun! Things flowed organically. We worked with our friend Sean Silverman of The Technicolors in his bedroom. Super DIY.

Which song (released or unreleased) are you most proud of?

My favorite off the EP is either “Rebel Sun” or “Swoon.” I just like the way they were written and produced.

What happens before you go onstage? Is there a Beach Weather pre-show ritual?

We usually hug each other and say,”Have a good set.”

Sometimes if we’re feeling frisky, a couple of cheek smooches go around. But those are rare occasions hahaha.

Out of all your songs, my favorite track is “New Skin.”

Can you touch on the inspiration and creation of that song?

Yeah, that song was basically a song about starting fresh and starting something new. Obviously, I wanted to write a song about where I’ve come from and where I’m going, and I think this one was an interesting way of doing that.

What’s your favorite restaurant and/or food in San Francisco?

I honestly haven’t gone out too much in San Fran. It’s always such a long drive for us when we are going there and we usually have to leave after the show. What do you recommend?

I gotta spend more time there.

25

If there were a chocolate bar with the name “Beach Weather,” what type of chocolate would it be, and what would it have?

Oh, man. Maybe some sort of peanut butter and chocolate situation.

What can listeners expect in terms of upcoming projects and/or releases?

We’re working on some new stuff. So be on the lookout for that soon!

What’s a question you have wanted to get asked in an interview, and what’s the response to it?

How many hours of real sleep do you get on tour?

The answer. Maybe 2.

• The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco • May 24, 2016 • @CRUISR @cruisr /cruisrtheband

Main Artist • CRUISR •

cruisrtheband.com

Whether it is in the car or on the streets of San Francisco, CRUISR puts forth a jubilant sound perfect for any ride or walk. Formed and based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, CRUISR features Andy States (vocals, guitar), Bruno Catrambone (guitar), and Jon Van Dine (drums), Currently signed to Vagrant Records, the band began as an individual project in Andy’s bedroom. Their debut EP, Cruiser, was released in 2012, shortly followed by their sophomore EP, All Over, in 2014, which features the summery, feel-good title track and hit, “All Over.” Not only have they shared their catchy sound at the Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival in Wantagh, New York and the Budweiser Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they have shared the stage with notable acts such as Betty Who and Imagine Dragons. Right before tour, they recently released two new tracks, “Take That” and “The Fritz,” on May 6.

Currently on a nationwide tour with back-to-back dates as a supporting act for PVRIS alongside Beach Weather and Lydia, CRUISR stopped at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on May 24 to share their new tunes—a bright sound—and their warm and lovable personalities. Just days before the show, Andy generously gave some of his time and thought to chat about the band’s beginnings, the process the band undertook in creating and producing “Take That,” and what the “CRUISR” chocolate bar would have. Additionally, just hours before hitting the stage, Andy, Bruno, and Jon kindly put some time aside to pose for a few portraits.

27

What’s the story behind the formation of CRUISR?

It started as just a project that I was doing at home. I was sort of in my bedroom just putting together demos, and that grew into us being a full band after I released some stuff online, and we got attention from labels and other people. I pulled in Jon first (who is our drummer), and then we grew into a full band pretty quickly. We were writing music and eventually got signed, and that led into us starting to do tours and recording and then having a bigger production value. I think being on the label pushed us to the next level of being a band.

What was the first instrument (musical or non-musical) you started making music with?

The first instrument I started making music with was the guitar, just writing on acoustic guitar and learning basic chords. Once I learned how to do that, I was just always writing songs. I never really had any formal education with guitar; I picked it up, and it took me a little bit. I think, in our day and age, it’s kind of easy to look up a few chords or find a few chords, and start teaching yourself. It’s not that hard to learn three or four basic chords on guitar, and once you do that, you can write songs. It was kind of cool for me that all I needed to do was to learn a little bit; you could start writing songs if you spent a week or two learning guitar.

You recently released a new single “Take That.” What was the process of writing, recording, and producing the track?

“Take That” started as just a chorus idea; I kind of work a lot with coming up with little ideas. I like to start writing choruses first, since that’s the most important part of a song. It was just an idea that had been sitting around for awhile, and I think at a certain point, we decided to try to flush it out and figure out what the verse would be and start putting the pieces together. We did that this past winter, and then started producing the track, and worked with various people who helped out with that and started to bring it to life in the studio.

Which song (released or unreleased) are you most proud of?

Right now, I’m most proud of “Take That.” It represents a new level of production and quality that we have achieved. I think it’s a step forward for us, and on that thought, I was much more heavily involved as a producer on that song than I had been with others. Our producer who we normally work with wasn’t available when we were working on the song, so I had to pick up a lot and self-produce this track, with help from various people on small things. So for me, I’m extra proud of “Take That” because I feel like I had to do more work on it than normal. I think it’s hard putting all that work into something and not knowing how people will react to it. It’s nice to have it out in the world.

What happens before you go onstage? Is there a CRUISR pre-show ritual?

We haven’t been doing it lately, but we used to do this thing called a “Power Pose,” which is putting your arms in the air for two minutes. It’s supposed to change the chemical in your brain and give you a boost. Before every show, I spend thirty minutes warming up, too. We don’t always have a green room or space I can warm up in, so I’ll lock myself up in my van and sing really loudly in the van outside of the venue. It feels weird because people will be walking by and hearing a dude singing really loudly inside a van.

Out of all your songs, my favorite track is “All Over.” Can you touch on the inspiration and creation of that song?

That song started with the verse part, “I ask this guy is he ready to fight,” and I was kind of working with that little progression. It was just a simple electric guitar that falls with what the bass does and that vocal. For that song, I just fell in love with what was going on in the verse, and then it slowly became about adding onto that and finding a chorus that worked with the concept that I had for the verse. That was one of the first times we really started to pull away from strumming throughout the whole song and letting the chorus and song be whatever.

What can listeners expect in terms of upcoming projects and/or releases?

We’re working on a few select songs right now, and while on tour, I’m trying to wrap up a lot of production and arrangements and figure out as much of that as I can while I’m on the road. We’ll have some more upbeat songs coming out—some faster ones that are in the vein of “All Over.”

We’re going to have a lot of new sounds; we’re instrumentally experimenting with a lot of things we haven’t used before and using less and less like straight up guitar on the songs, but more broad. We’re going to be genre-hopping a little bit more. I’m excited to get it out to the world.

If there were a chocolate bar with the name “CRUISR,” what type of chocolate would it be, and what would it have?

It would definitely be a milk chocolate for sure, and it would have peanuts in it (kind of like a Mr.Goodbar). It would be fancy.

What’s a question you have wanted to get asked in an interview, and what’s the response to it?

I love talking about production work. I love when people ask questions about whether or not we use certain programs, or what software or what plug-ins we use. I love questions like that; I’m just such a nerd about it.

To answer my own question, we use Logic Pro a lot; we use Soundtoys, which is the name of the plug-in that I love. I just love those nerdy questions about recording and things that probably go over a lot of people’s heads. I’m into that stuff and when I look up bands, I’m always looking for what they use and learning more about how they make music; you know, how they actually sound.

Producing has a lot to do with making big decisions about a song and making big decisions about how it’s going to feel, and a lot of that has to happen a lot in tandem with recording.

Recording is simply picking up and capturing audio. A lot of bands aren’t even making noises outside of their computers, so they’re never really recording at all. I think what they’re doing is producing. If you listen to any type of dance music or EDM or that culture, a lot of that music is never recorded (you’re not recording anything except vocals).

Featured Artist • Lydia •

lydiaband.com

While coming from a warm place, specifically Gilbert, Arizona, Lydia brings a bright sound to the stage. Going back in time to 2003, Leighton Antelman (lead vocals, guitar) started Lydia; Justin Camacho (guitar) and Matt Keller (keyboard, guitar, bass, programming) now accompany him.

Having released four albums prior, Lydia put out Run Wild on September 18, 2015, which marks their fifth. Within the past few years, they have toured with numerous bands, including Anberlin, The Maine, and The Technicolors.

Currently on tour alongside CRUISR and Beach Weather as supporting acts for PVRIS, Lydia stopped to perform some tunes in San Francisco at The Regency Ballroom on May 24.

While on the road, Leighton graciously contributed some of his time to chat more about the formation of Lydia, what happens before he plays a set, and even his favorite type of dog. 32

What’s the story behind the formation of Lydia?

Myself and one other guy went to high school togetherand just starting creating music together. We certainly were just doing it for fun, and never thought it would turn into a career.

What was the first instrument (musical or non-musical) you started making music with?

My first instrument was the guitar. Well, not sure if it counts, but singing was actually my first instrument for a while and then I finally took on more instruments like guitar, piano, bass, etc.

You released a new album, Run Wild, just last fall.

What was the process of writing, recording, and producing it?

Well, we did something different that we haven’t done yet for a Lydia record in that we used 2 different producer/engineers for it. It took us a solid year of writing it and probably another 6 months of actually recording it. We would take 3 songs and record them. A few months away from the music, we would then record the next 3 or 4 songs. That’s how we did the whole thing.

Which song (released or unreleased) are you most proud of?

I think I’m most proud that I actually get to continue to make music for my job, that people and the fans are allowing us to still do what we love. I couldn’t really pick a certain song, as they are all sort of my babies. I just try and make music I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about, and let the rest fall as it may.

What happens before you guys go onstage? Is there a Lydia pre-show ritual?

Well, we’ve been singing a lot of “Deer In The Headlights” as 3 or 4 part harmonies on this current tour. Ha, it’s always different for every tour.

Out of all your songs, my favorite track is “The Exit.”

Can you touch on the inspiration and creation of that song?

That song was one of those tracks that formed super quickly.

Some songs take 6 months, and some songs are finished over a few hours. This was one of those songs that I think we finished during an afternoon. I don’t think either way is a better way to approach writing or music—just letting the song form however it does.

What’s your favorite restaurant and/or food in San Francisco?

Hmm, good question. I’m not sure, I guess I need to explore more restaurants in San Francisco.

If there were a chocolate bar with the name “Lydia,” what type of chocolate would it be, and what would it have?

Sadly, I’m not much of a chocolate guy. But, let’s go with cashew chocolate.

What can listeners expect in terms of upcoming projects and/or releases?

Well, Lydia is always writing and creating songs. So after this tour, you can usually find us in the studio messing around with something. New music usually follows shortly thereafter.

What’s your favorite type of dog, and where would you go in outer space?

I really like pit bulls; they get a bad reputation, but are actually sweethearts. I’d just fly around the earth and look at it from that far up. Everywhere else would just take too long to get to.
