Nyte Skye

Performance Anxiety

This is another first for the podcast. Welcome the band Nyte Skye to the show. The band is made up of Nyles and Skye Lannon, a father and son duo who have just released their first album on Sonic Ritual. You may recognize Nyles from the band Film School or from his solo work. We start off talking about Nyles’ early days playing in college bands before taking several years off working in tech for CDNow before they were bought out by Amazon. That was when he really started taking music seriously.

He joined Film School and after years of touring, the band was signed by Beggar’s Banquet. At the same time, Nyles was working on some solo projects. But he stepped away from all of it and stayed away for 10 years.

He began composing commercial music and started a family. Enter Skye Lannon. Skye’s natural aptitude for music was apparent early on. Nyles and Skye began Nyte Skye as a way to flesh out some of the music they had been working on for a long time. They have released their debut album called Vanishing and it sounds great. Nyles and Skye talk about how their writing has changed, straddling the line between producer and dad, and challenges touring when your drummer has too much homework.
