Episode #57 - Night Demon's First Show - Part 1

After an amazingly fruitful two-month period in which Night Demon wrote and recorded all four songs for their debut EP, it was time to entertain offers for gigs.  You will hear how Night Demon were offered and turned down the opportunity to open for Accept and Sabaton in May 2011, and how Armand and Dusty’s band New Liberty took the slot in their stead.  The irony is twofold, in that Armand and Dusty went on to join Night Demon, and Night Demon went on to open for Accept on an extended European run in early 2018.  In the meantime, Jarvis’s main band at the time, Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats, was primed and ready to release a full-length record that had been years in the making.  But Jarvis was drawn to Night Demon and the effortless magic of his collaboration with Brent and Pat.  Eventually, the door opened for Night Demon to make its live debut opening for a Thin Lizzy tribute band featuring Armand on lead guitar at the Bombay Bar and Grill in Ventura in May 2011. Become a subscriber today at nighdemon.net/subscriber.
