Equal parts pop, soul and rock 'n' roll, BEST NIGHT EVER is a Vancouver based band playing an intoxicating blend of original music. Meeting through performances with other artists, a mutual appreciation of each others distinct musical personalities developed and the band began writing captivating pop songs late in 2013. Simultaneously both a dance group and an outlet for deeper musical expression, the band draws inspiration from legendary artists like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, and features rippling keyboards, syncopated guitar lines and soulful vocal melodies placed on a bedrock of vintage drum and bass sounds.
2014 saw the group become weekend staples at notable Vancouver nightclubs like The Roxy, Guilt & Company, and The Cellar, sharing the stage with the likes of Nick Gilder & Sweeney Todd, Bend Sinister, The Balconies, and Tonye Aganaba. They were featured performers at the Keys 2 Streets yearend invitational, guests of rock radio journeyman Todd Hancock's inaugural Indie Night concert series, and received radio airplay on 99.3 The Fox. Their dedication became increasingly apparent when they were announced as the first place winners of the Hard Rock Casino's ROCK THE MIC competition, beating out fifty other acts to take the coveted grand prize.
In 2015, the band release their debut album, a self titled EP, and had a placement of their song Dancing By Yourself in the feature film Female Seeking Male. They competed in and won the 2015 ROXY Launch Party, earning a chance to work with Juno-award winning producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) on an upcoming single. Also influenced by modern, genre-bending groups Snarky Puppy and Dirty Loops, they delicately balance raw, lyrical songwriting with moments of outright musical intensity and unabashed virtuosity. BEST NIGHT EVER blur the lines between intricate, poignant compositions and unforgettable dance-floor anthems.
