Street Nights, Bear & Moose, Eidolons
[CLASSIC ROCK] Portland's Street Nights may have had its original name, Nightmoves, stolen by a Minneapolis buzz band, but the group hasn't let that slow it down—even though sharing its moniker with a Bob Seger jam was incredibly apt. Formed in 2011, the local supergroup—made up of members of Joggers, Guidance Counselor and Wild Ones—came together with the intent of bringing "elements of radio rock from our childhoods back into the fold here, as opposed to some of the current trends around town," says singer-guitarist Jake Morris, and it's certainly accomplished that goal, playing music that, as described on the band's Bandcamp page, is the sound of "classic rock without the excess or success." That second part could soon change, however, with debut album You Have My Word scheduled for release in April.
