Nite Sports (Movielife, Incendiary, American Nightmare) share new song, opening Nightmare of You shows

Nite Sports is a new-ish NYC band featuring some very familiar faces. Their three guitarists are The Movielife/I Am The Avalanche vocalist Vinnie Caruana, Jim Carroll (American Nightmare, Angel Du$t, The Hope Conspiracy, Suicide File), and Brian Audley (Incendiary); Christopher Todd (Common Sage, ex-Sannhet) is on drums; and the lineup is rounded out by two people who are better known as tattoo artists than musicians: Henbo Henning and Justin Weatherholtz (both of the Good Luck NYC tattoo shop) handle lead vocals and bass, respectively. They released their debut single “The Wire” and started playing shows last spring, and they just released their second single, “Seventeen.”

The members of Nite Sports come from all walks of punk and hardcore life, and these first two singles find them busting out fun, catchy, triumphant garage punk. It’s pretty undeniable, and they bring that same energy to the video for “Seventeen” too. Check it out below.

Nite Sports are opening for Long Island’s one and only Warped Weeble Wobbles at Amityville Music Hall on Saturday (1/17), alongside Victory Garden and Crush Us All, a Seaweed cover band that also features Vinnie Caruana along with members of The Warped Weeble Wobbles, Backtrack, Kill Your Idols, and Somerset Thrower.

Vinnie is also playing in The Warped Weeble Wobbles at this show, and if you’re unfamiliar with these Long Island cult heroes, here’s how Vinnie describes them:

The Weebles are a treasured band in LIHC history. They are one of the sole reasons my life took the direction it did. The first show I ever attended show was Warped Weeble Wobbles and Vision of Disorder at Hammerheads in Elmont NY in early 1993 (I got started young thanks to the older kids and my older brothers welcoming me into a budding scene that is clearly stronger than ever today. The Weebles were an entirely unique and hilarious band poking fun at everything and everyone bringing some levity to hardcore and punk. “They” are now “We” as I’ll be pitching in on guitar duties in my big brother’s band he and his friends started in high school in the early 90’s. We’ve been putting together a set filled with old Weebles classics, a special guest appearance list filled with LIHC legends, and covers portion of the set you won’t want to miss.

After the Weebles show, Nite Sports will open Nightmare Of You‘s three 20th anniversary shows for their debut album, which happen at Hartford’s The Webster Underground on February 13, Asbury Park’s House of Independents on February 14, and NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on February 15.
