   About NIGHT PORTRAITS
Night portraits formed in late 2007 as Ladybridge. After recording our first demo (Otters Of Beirut) we decided to change the name to night portraits. After many awful song ideas and odd band practices we are still finding a genre and style of music that we feel totally comfortable with. In late 2008 we began to get more gigs and got our first radio play and positive reviews.

NIGHTSHIFT MUSIC MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2008

But hey hey what’s this? A bit of raucous punk rock action? We are changing our minds already! There are spidery guitar Flecks and rabble-rousing overly-dramatic vocals and even some electronic intermissions and it all sounds like a cross between The stooges , New model army and The dead Kennedys , but really not like any of those. More like something violently ripped from the footnotes of the early 80s alternative rock underground. The clench-teethed sincerity of it all, added to the meaty metallic riffage, wins us over every time"

OXFORDBANDS.COM LIVE REVIEW DECEMBER 2008

Night Portraits follow, changing the mood from sophisticated whimsy to intense noise-making. If you close your eyes, it’s hard to believe that there are only two guitars being played. They make heavy use of feedback and guitar effects to sound like much more than a three-piece. …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are obviously an influence, along with The Fall.

BBC RADIO: "JAGGED URGENCY"

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/JHMUSICUK MARCH 2009

It is often hard to make a 3 piece work with the depth and structure of slightly larger bands, with the lack of a second guitarist often making a huge difference, but Night Portraits have found a way to make it work. Containing a mix of lead guitar over a hard hitting bass riff with a steady drum beat to keep it all together, Night Portraits have created their own sound which sounds fresh and full of life.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,

Hi Night Portraits, You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. Panoramic aromavision is the future. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass.
