Our fifth installment of Lunarcast features a Southern California band called Hell At Night. The band’s original concept was as a duo, consisting of twin brothers Nart and Dan Chejoka (drums and guitar/vocals, respectively). However, earlier this year, a third member was added to the band, former Lidsville frontman Greg Johnson, who now provides the much-needed bass and sings lead and backup vocals. It was this lineup that entered the studio for a second round to finalize their debut EP Battle of the Spirit at The Distillery with producer extraordinaire Mike McHugh (Lightening Bolt, The Lamps). Mchugh, Johnson and the Chejokas put their heads together to crystallize a sound that ranges from Pavement and The Pixies to Danzig and ELO. It’s rough and crisp with a hint of familiarity, but sounds as pure a freshly scorched $50.
