Episode #46 – Roots of the Demon – Part 4
Fri, 11 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0700 ◦ 53 minutes
In this episode, we bring you part 4 of “The Roots of the Demon,” tracing the lineage and musical pedigree of each member through various precursor bands predating Night Demon. As the story resumes, Jarvis found an outlet for his love of horror-punk by joining Hybrid Moments, essentially a Misfits cover band with original songs, and gigging locally during downtime from No Motiv. Meanwhile, Armand became heavily immersed in recording work following the split-up of From Satellite. One of the bands he recorded was Le Meu Le Purr, a quirky, experimental, indie noise rock band that signed to TVT Records. After being cornered at the bar late one night, Armand agreed to join the band. Other members of Le Meu Le Purr eventually helped him build the recording studio now known as The Captains Quarters. At that time, Jarvis was feeling lost following the dissolution of No Motiv. He resolved never to be an expendable band member again, but always to lead from that moment forward. On a lark, Jarvis wrote and recorded a doo wop / rockabilly / roots rock song that led to him forming Jeff Hershey & The Heartbeats for what was intended to be a single one-off performance. Elsewhere, a talented new guitarist to the Ventura area named Brent Woodward was recruited to join a stoner-meets-hardcore outfit called The Fucking Wrath. The band, which also featured drummer John Crerar, evolved into a more metallic beast with the infusion of Brent’s NWOBHM-inspired riffs and writing. Listen in next week as these disparate threads of narrative continue to coalesce into the birth of Night Demon.

Episode #47 – Roots of the Demon – Part 5
Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0700 ◦ 63 minutes
This week we continue our in-depth exploration of the individual musical and life journeys that culminated in the creation of Night Demon. We pick up the story in Ocean City, Maryland, where a chance meeting resulted in Dusty meeting Shane Mac. Together, the two of them formed New Liberty, an ass kicking riff rock band hellbent on living the ’80s rock star dream. After another chance meeting at a singer/songwriter event, New Liberty were invited to Ventura, California to record a demo. Still chasing their pipe dream, Dusty and his bandmates piled into an ancient, decrepit RV and moved cross-country. By chance, they were slated to record their demo with Armand in his studio. Armand and New Liberty hit it off famously, both musically and personally, and Armand joined the band soon after. In this new configuration, New Liberty developed a strong local following and played numerous searing gigs, many of which Jarvis attended as a fan. Meanwhile, Jarvis was pouring his musical energy into Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats, exploring different musical terrain, lifting his musicianship out of a one-dimensional rut, and learning volumes about other styles of music, showmanship, and European tour life. Eventually, however, Jarvis began feeling that the Heartbeats project had run its course and was left feeling uninspired. At around the same time, New Liberty imploded when the shifting music industry climate conspired to prevent them from parlaying their homegrown success into something bigger. A perfect storm was brewing. The time was nigh for Night Demon.
