Project Nowhere presents: THE MYSTERY LIGHTS (New York, NY) SHADOW SHOW (Detroit, MI) THE MERSEY SOUND Visuals by ANTHONY PIAZZA Followed by a FREE LATE NIGHT AFTERPARTY with DJ TRIAL & ERROR + PAUL QUATTRONE \-- The Mystery Lights story begins in 2004 in the small town of Salinas, California when friends Michael Brandon and Luis Alfonso — whose shared fondness for groups like The Mc5, Velvet Underground, Dead Moon, and The Fall (to name a few) — joined forces to craft their own brand of unhinged rock and roll. From there they spent the better part of 10 years touring relentlessly before migrating to Queens, New York in 2014. With a live show known for its visceral energy and relentless assault — leaving little to no stoppage between songs — they barreled through countless NYC haunts and DIY venues, quickly amassing a fervent local following. The buzz soon caught the attention of Daptone Records execs who were in the beginning stages of launching a new rock-centric imprint, Wick Records. Impressed by the groups’ groove, endless supply of energy, and understanding of musical history, The Mystery Lights were quickly signed to Wick. Though a rock band at heart, the parallels to what Daptone Records had traditionally looked for in their soul artists was undeniable. “Vintage hit-writing techniques, powerhouse performances.” -Pitchfork “The Mystery Lights are as good as it gets, one of New York’s finest garage rock bands.” -NME \-- About Project Nowhere: Project Nowhere returns for a third year to Toronto’s west end on OCT 2-4, 2025.
