An excellent show going on tonight that we missed on the weekender post: Chief Death Rage and The Night Game Cult will be playing @ the Amsterdam in the patio area. The Amsterdam is on Exposition near Avenue Arts and Minc... this will be a kick ass show. Thats all.

the night game cult is probably one of the best bands in the area right now.....and it's pretty much just ONE guy putting his complete heart and soul into the music. he writes all the songs himself except for what i believe to be a brilliant and quite danceable version of goodbye horses by q. lazzarus. don't any of you know that kyle does the night game cult pretty much all on his own? he has to karaoke over his own tunes because every band member in every band he's been in(great one's I might add, like the ditch kids, pointy shoe factory, and he may as well be the fucking lead singer of the chromatics if you didn't see their last show. he did a performance of now i wanna be your dog with them that would make iggy pop shake!) have'nt been three times as dedicated as he was to the bands. kyle's music has a philosophy to it that most of you will NEVER understand. He sings songs about enduring the hardships of life and about community......about uniting us! the guy writes unite and cherish your friends on his fucking chest for godssake! i encourage all of you to go see AND hear the night game cult perform and introduce yourselves to kyle and find out who's right and who's wrong. jesus! have any of you even listened to the lyrics in "you are not alone"? this guy is trying to bring people together and he is using a stage and microphone as a platform to do just that, and i hope his mission gets accomplished. he's certainly put a lot of love into my heart, i can tell you that. most of you are just jealous and just want fame, except for us cold, delerious few, as will shatter from flipper(who just happens to remind me A LOT of kyle) would say. i wanna see you write some tunes, get on stage BY YOURSELF, and try to do some good for this world.....i know the night game cult has inspired me to do just that.

He's a nice guy.

I like the CD. Chimera is a cool song.

I'm sorry but the live show doesn't do it for me. I'm not saying you're a moron for liking it, but I think if "performance art" is the goal then he should push a bit harder. If performance is the goal - there're a-plenty of lonely keyboardist/programmmer folk out there who would love to be part of something (an electronic drummer would be cool). whatever

My theory on the motivation of the NightGame is that he simply likes music and loves performing for people and that's that. - There's plenty of room in the vast music scene for Nightgame.

You assholes are assholes. assholes.

tyler walker, you had a nice 2-week run as Tampa Bay Devil Rays closer, but it's time to face the music.

I totally don't get the Tommy John thing.

I'm a fan of his visual art.

Everbody knows the guy has his problems and I think his music blows, but for fucks sake, get a username if you're going to be saying such shitty things about someone.

MArilyn Manson's gay little brother.

Are people not over the face paint and the troubled soul presentation of music? Kinda old.

SOMEBODY CO-OPTED COCK PUNCH. IT'S NOT AS FUNNY WHEN YOU SAY IT. YOU PEOPLE ARE PUSHING IT, MAN.

FOLMER. YOU WERE IN THE PAPER BECAUSE YOU WERE ADDICTED TO VIDEO GAMES. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK. VIDEO GAMES? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? GET A REAL PROBLEM, WHITE MAN.

NIGHT GAME IS FRAUD.
THE MUSIC IS BAD AND HE'S A JERK.

Why don't you people go update your livejournals?

if yr comments were based on kyle's art, i might be interested in yr opinions. but since you are anonymously slandering him, i think you are full of shit.

and everytime youre talking shit, well... ...life's a piece of shit when youre a piece of shit

everytime you praise an idol a teardrop falls from god's eyeball

bill hicks was a genius, i'll give you that, geoff. how'sa bout'a cockpunch, dicksmack???
also, i believe the word is sheeple. gee, think for yourself? now we're talk'in george harrison!!!

"Knives in my Back"

tyler walker, meet Tommy john

facepaint rock sucks

Bill Hicks would not tolerate nightgame.

"armchair fucking critics"

This whole site is armchair.

NightGame sucks the poop out of my bung, but that's just me. I'm sure others love that shit.

night game is part tyler walker

yeah, I really don't know ANYTHING about that guy or what he does on stage or if he is gay or a jerk or whatever. I just liked the few tracks I heard, which don't seem to have been discussed in the comments all that much.

armchair fucking critics

Kyle was in The Ditch Kids when he was in high school and that band was better than 95% of anything going on at that time or now. He was also in The Pointy Shoe Factory and wrote some of their best songs. I know what he does in The NightGame isn't for everybody but I'm sure he doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks and I seriously doubt he reads this blog. So say what you want about a guy who's music is influenced by Darby Crash, Sade and Edgar Allan Poe. It's strange, interesting, and much more original than just another rock band. The people who get it can listen and the people who don't can fuck off and listen to something else. Try some Bill Hicks you humorless assholes!

all this talk about "sheep" is binary melodramatic crap!

ps. I heart kyle lyke totally

I'm not really a fan, but it does take some balls to get up there alone on stage and sing and dance around like whatsherface from Flashdance...

I like Kyle ok (as a person)

Poorly conceived keyboard music that is composed using theory 101. poor vocal delivery of obvious semi-melodies. trite psuedo-uplifting lyrics about alienation from a former scenster in a shitty small town. substitute charisma for facepaint and turn the lights out.

ot you know, he's a genius who really knows art and people just don't get it.

Why do people get so emotional about music? You love it or you hate it and thats the way it is. You will rip it down or defend it. Is it any suprise when this happens? No.
On one side of the fence you have those people, "tastemakers", who the general public puts on a higher pedestal and believe the over hyped opinions of what they have to say no matter what. Sorry to say the general public are sheep people, ready to follow. On the other side of the fence you have the people who are turned off by the hype and won't even give it a chance because everyone is going nuts about it, they're a different kind of sheep, sheep none the less.
Give it a chance on your own terms, whatever they may be, and maybe think about how productive it is to sit on here and insert non-formulated thoughts instead of providing something insightful. Like a well thought out opinion of your own.

"every move Kyle makes in nightgame is completely honest"

Wrong. Incorrect. Not true.

that guy is the one who's mean to everyone.
I don't feel sorry for him

nightgame might be honest and entertaining to some degree, but the live act is kinda, uh, not very live. turn-off.

oh my goth

what a bunch of fags... this site sucks.

HATRED!

every move Kyle makes in nightgame is completely honest

you guys are really mean. you are talking about a person with feelings and all they are doing is making art for other people to enjoy. i like kyle's music and i think it's really great. eat it bitches.

nightgame needs to accept his homosexuality,grow up, get a job and stop trying to play the victim.
he's burnt from all the shit he put up his nose,i guess

The Night Game Cult is not for those who think in terms of art as being stupid.

If nightgame is so talented how cum he uses a backing track like a big pop star?

nightgame is not a gimmick. Kyle is one of the most talented musicians in the dwf area...just ask his cell phone!

nightgame is a stupid gimmick

Rose County Fair - Cavern TONIGHT

If we weren't playing tonight in Austin, we'd check this out... Kyle (Nightgame) is a great songwriter and always gives it everything he has live.

Enjoy!
