Starting only with the name, recording engineer and former Lustre King frontman Mike Lust had an idea for a band - the next band he and Jay Dandurand (former drummer for Lustre King) would play in together. In late 2002 this "Phantom fantasy" quickly became reality, once they met bassist Cale Arthur.
Recorded at Phantom Manor, The band's analogue recording facility, Nightfool marks their Southern Records debut. With this 5-song EP, Tight Phantomz employs a rather raw, stripped down rock aesthetic. Nightfool combines the speed and grit of Lustre King with a classic rock n' roll influence. One could say, their musical blueprint could easily be summed up with Aerosmith's Draw The Line and ZZ Top's Waiting For The Bus.
In the USA the band have established the reputation of a must-see live act. With Lust at the helm - it's hard to tell what's going to happen! Complete with scissor kicks you thought only Dave Lee Roth could do without seriously injuring himself, the typical Phantomz show often becomes a visual full-on rock assault, in every sense of the word.
