About Me


This wildsauce began in the late summer of 2005, and for some reason, we decided to call ourselves Gamenight.
We're just four friends that love music and writing music. We love traveling, telecasters, meeting new people, and making new friends.
We've been called mathy. We've been called rock'n'roll.
We've been fortunate enough to make a lot of great friends in the three years we've been a band, both at home, and across the country, and we're incredibly grateful.
In August of 2006, we released our debut full length entitled "Simple Starts in the Mind" on The New Beat Records.
In July of 2008, we released our second album - a split with our best friends Mouth Movements. Blue and Green, as it was titled, was released on Missing Words Records. It contains four songs from each band and is incredibly eclectic.
We are currently working on new matierial for our third release, which will be on Missing Words as well. We are also looking to acquire a booking agency deal. We will continue playing shows around the southeast, and we hope to tour again soon. Peace and love to all.

"Simple Starts In The Mind isn't reinventing the wheel; just making the wheel a lot more technical and more fun to ride on. Odd time signatures, finger tapping, and loops flood each song from begining to end. But when most bands over use such a formula making you say, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...", Gamenight make every song different and exciting to listen to, especially when adding odd intrumentaion into the mix. On "Hardwood Dance Floor" a cello can be heard in the opening riff, mimicking the guitar, bringing a Cursive feel to it. If you've ever wanted more than power chords and blatantly sophmorish lyrics, look no further. This is my favorite record of the year and, the way music has been looking lately, it will stay a favorite for quite some time." --Mammoth Press : 9 out of 10
