Friday Nights is a collaboration between singer/songwriter Mike Castillo and musician/songwriter/producer Shon Kornfeld.

Their self titled debut was released in early 2009. The album was mixed by alt legend, Ken Andrews (Failure, Year of the Rabbit, ON) who has mixed or produced for acts like NIN, Beck, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World.

Castillo sharpened his songwriting skills by playing such Los Angeles landmarks as the Venice Beach Boardwalk and 3rd Street Promenade. He eventually formed rock band, “If You See Kate”, who self-released a CD in 2004 and played around LA for a couple of years before disbanding.

Kornfeld, who’s primary instrument is guitar, has written, produced, recorded and self-released CDs from his bands Helen 55 and Fontaine. He has toured nationally with the Bulletboys and done brief stints with LA bands Stanford Prison Experiment and Fractional.

The 2 first met in 1998 when Castillo approached Kornfeld after a Helen 55 show. He found himself occasionally working for the band as a roadie and would learn all their songs on guitar. Kornfeld saw talent in the then 16 year-old Castillo, and they would keep in touch. In 2005 after IYSK disbanded, Kornfeld offered to record Castillo’s “best song” for free at his home studio, Moai Sounds. They wound up recording 4 songs before deciding to combine their recent material and do a complete record.
