LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Wild Light Official Website) - Wild Light win "Outstanding Rock Act of the Year" at the 2008
Boston Music Awards, only furthering the excitement and anticipation for the release of their debut album Adult Nights, out March 3rd, 2009 on StarTime International. Taking place this past Sunday, December 7th, Wild Light won the award in a category whose nominees included A.K.A.C.O.D., Bang Camaro, Great Bandini, Helms, Hooray For Earth, and Viva Viva. This win comes at the end of a highly productive 2008, and sets the tone of what looks like an extremely busy 2009 for Wild Light. Beginning January 15th, in Omaha, Nebraska, the band will head out on their first ever US
National Tour with Tapes 'N Tapes, which will take them thru 29 cities across the US.
Wild Light was formed in 2005 by four childhood friends from New Hampshire - guitarist Jordan Alexander, keyboarders and bassists Seth Pitman and Tim Kyle and drummer Seth Kasper. Since then, the band has quickly been climbing the ranks of the indie-music realm, performing with numerous notable artists including The Gutter Twins, MGMT and LCD Soundsystem. The group also went out on a Fall 2007 tour of Europe and the UK, in addition to playing select US dates, with Arcade Fire (a group in which Tim Kyle was a founding member).
Adult Nights was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Guided By Voices), and features 13 original tracks co-written by all the members. Catch the band when they perform at a city near you on their upcoming tour.
