Neon Knights

About Me


Neon Knights, & indie/electro act from Melbourne was described as an "amalgam of insane beatage, firestorming electro and fuck-off huge melodies with massive aplomb"(Beat Magazine) in their 1st ever show. Since then Neon Knights has played on bills with Midnight Juggernauts, Damn Arms, the Galvatrons, Dukes Of Windsor, the Lost Valentinos & the Dardanelles, playing all over Melbourne & interstate. Drawing influence from thunder beats, catchy melodies & all instruments under the sun, you can be sure you will dance your ass off to sound of Neon Knights... Hoods up!
+++Reviews+++
"The Knight at the reigns of this stallion is one Chris Donaldson (formerly of Vedettes notoriety,) who, with some assistance from his brother/drummer Nik, have barnstormed the inner-city, hipster club scene with some refreshingly original, arp-heavy electro... this is inspired stuff." - Nick Clarke (Catalyst Magazine)
"Even though it was his first show, pulled off his amalgam of insane beatage, firestorming electro and fuck-off huge melodies with massive aplomb." - Jaymz Clements (Beat Magazine)
"Neon Knights is set to leave Muscles in a cloud of smoke as they shoot towards the stars" - Inpress Magazine
"I love their sound; very tasteful. With influences from MSTRKRFT, then how the heck can you go wrong? Highly recommend you folk out there give them a listen" - Patch (Waves at Night)
"Their beats make you want to take your pants off and rub against the nearest person or wall. The only way to describe this beautifully hectic song styling is if Kavinksy were to have a baby with early MSTRKRFT. The melodies punch and the hooks drag you in with such gravity that I thought I was going to hit the moon" - Alex Willox (Indigo 4 Music)
