Indie Nights : Cocomakaze // The Night Painters // Vacant Church

Indie rock band The Night Painters is based in Madison, Wisconsin, but it started as a Seattle project in 2018. Inspired by the PNW’s existential gloom that birthed the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Built to Spill, childhood friends Al Knox (vocals, guitar) and Seth Young (vocals, drums) teamed up with Meg Knox (vocals, bass) to write and perform memorable music that prodded at life’s most complicated questions. Their time in Seattle culminated with their debut album, Psychopaths Anonymous, that explored a series of characters grappling with the human condition.
