Cities of the Red Night

About Me


Cities of the Red Night are a band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in Feb 2006 by Richard Berndt (gtr) and Matt Horam (stx), they quickly captured Dan Kell (bss) and finalised the lineup with the lucky acquisition of Jo Packman (vx/flt).
Once all were safely inside the studio, all hell broke loose.
The result is magical.
