From The Nashville Scene (2/7/07):
What do you do if you're 22, preternaturally stylish and you quit your job to intern at Matt Friction's Mean Buzz Records? Why, start a band, of course. Enter nite nite, the latest byproduct and underground darling-hearts of Nashville's indie scene. MTSU recording industry grads and it-gals Davis Collandrea and Sarah-Brooks Levine have been playing together since age 18, merging Collandrea's singing and songwriting abilities with Levine's 12 years of classical piano. Adding drummer Dillon Napier* (formerly of Scatter the Ashes) and bass player Ryan Tullock*, nite nite have only played two shows together, but their visiblity at local rock shows has already earned them a following much too big for their opening-for-the-opener billing. A killer wardrobe and Nico-like sex appeal are great, but the hottest thing about nite nite is their new-wave-meets-Warhol's-Factory sound. With ethereal vocals floating over pulsing beats, nite nite manage to be both hard and soft at the same time, and you find yourself thinking about their songs, not reciting them in your head, long after the last drumbeat fades away. Whatever blips and glitches the band have- and there are a few- can be forgiven in light of their nascent status (their first EP isn't even out yet) and their willingness to get up there and give it their best.
