Band Motivational Mission Statement

Innovation
Melbourne outfit Nightmaster combine angular rock with Afro beat and calypso rhythms, apply some unexpected song structures and add surf melodies to create (arguably) seriously (totally) fresh summer jams. Songs are written to speak for themselves, as there is no singing to speak for them.  Drawing on influences such as Fela Kuti, Wire, Tortoise and Santo and Johnny, Nightmaster makes you want to dance and/or go surfing, whichever you prefer. The live show tends to be a pretty good time.

Integrity
Nightmaster began doing shows in Melbourne in 2009 at venues including The Tote, Pony, The Old Bar, Curtin Bandroom, Birmingham, and probably some other places that don’t come immediately to mind. The stage has been shared with bands like Pets With Pets, Love Connection,  Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, Milk Teddy, Radiant City and Fourteen Nights at Sea. Friendships have been formed. Hearts have been broken. No equipment has been broken, however.

Excellence
Tiger EP brings five of the band’s instrumental gems to life in the modern Compact Disc and digital format. recorded at Soundpark Studios in Northcote by the masterful hand of Idge.  Lead track ‘Cool Breeze’ will make you wish you were a millionaire, just so you could donate more to charity.

Teamwork
The line-up consists of Troy Coxhill on drums, Matt Fox on guitar and percussion, and Chris Turner on a Fender Bass VI baritone guitar thingy. Troy most recently fronted local duo TV for Cats. Troy is a vegan, an amateur fruit farmer and a gentleman. Matt and Chris met while living in Cambodia where they had a rock band. More recently both played in Melbourne indie rock band Soaring Eagle. Matt has a robust sneaker collection while Chris is from Canada. The live show sometime features percussionist Rod Collins, currently of smooth rock band Puerto Rico.

Valour
In conclusion, Tiger EP is out now digitally on Wireless Records via MGM Distribution.
