Biography

If you need testament to the fact that diversity is a virtue, look no further than Nocturnal Me. The New York based four-piece combines an eclectic concoction of seasoned musicians from various backgrounds - such as the internationally-known pop-outfit Cute Is What We Aim For and nationally-known acts Roses Are Red and Streamline - with their talents and personalities fusing to create pop music that challenges the conventional boundaries that exist between funk and pop/rock music. The final result? Definitive proof that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Speaking of the motivation behind the formation of Nocturnal Me, frontman Dave Melillo comments; “We started Nocturnal Me as a genuine outlet for making music.” That outlet has, since its 2009 inception, released two EPs to not only critical acclaim - being described by one critic as “poised to shine” - but, more importantly, an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the band’s relentlessly loyal fanbase. Despite the duo of EPs - ‘Nocturnal Me’ and ‘Too’ - spawning addictive and reckless anthems á la “This Isn’t Love” and “Smash It Up,” it would be incorrect to describe them as a benchmark for the band’s future output and success, for they are mere building blocks and a taste of what is to come from the quartet. As Melillo himself confidently asserts; “We want to make songs that are complex, yet accessible.

    I love them, CIWWAF, and Dave's solo stuff. Personally, I prefer Dave as a person over Shaant, but I am a long-time fan of CIWWAF, and it was a "giant middle finger to Shaant." v ...

    definitely making a Team Shaant shirt. how is the guy he's played with for years gonna ditch him for the guy that JUST joined the band. ridiculous. Dave should just go back to his solo stuff.
