Alright Lights

In the Sweet Hereafter

About Me

Alright Lights began when Kevin(Cosmetic Puffs, Six Volt Amps) hailing form Eureka, CA met Marc in 2005. They wrote some tunes without a drummer for a few months until Beth joined on skins. We practiced in Marc's basement as an instrumental trio until Beth deserted us for NYC in Aug of 2005. Friend Jason took over on drums in Sept and we continued to write tunes without words. Our good friend Paul joined on 2nd guitar in April of 2006, which must have brought us some luck, as Kevin began writing words to our tunes around that time. Stawberries was our first song. We moved out of the basement into Hot L Birmingham to have real practice space. Jason informed us around that time that he was going to leave the band for school. Amazingly enough, Beth had just returned from NYC, wanting to play some drums. We had a few other stragglers along the way, but we were (for about a year) a solid band, playing regular shows around town and recording our music.
Kevin has since moved away with wifey and baby back to California. He was our lead singer and glue so no more Alright Lights. :( Don't stray though... there are more projects in the works. Check back with us!
