Night Beats has been played on NTS shows including Trevor Jackson , with Dial 666 first played on 5 July 2014.

Danny Lee Blackwell’s Night Beats project started in Texas, found its sound in Seattle, then traveled down to California. That peripatetic existence fits a band that sounds like a cowboy dropped a bunch of acid, wandered in the desert, and erupted from a cloud of dust and weed smoke to front a rock band. Think 13th Floor Elevators and fulsome guitar riffs and Sergio Leone soundtracks and, sure, a dash of R&B.
