We knew from day one we would never see fame or anything remotely close to it with this endeavour, but in the words of Robert Pollard, "we began making records anyway, just to have them."
That's right. Just to have them. Lord knows we have nothing else. We have no diplomas, we have no degrees. We are drop-outs. We are losers. We are full-time failures.
Doomed to obscurity. Born to bar band.
Kind quotes from kind folks:
'On their second full length record “A Steamroller Named Desire,” The Big City Nights Band has taken steps toward mastering the sound of friends hanging out together having fun drinking beer.' - Kyle Rindinella, Currents Magazine review of "A Steamroller Named Desire" (2008)
'You guys are the AC/DC of country' - Barn Owl
'Brash indie-rock that's high-energy and candid, the type of gritty yet melodic sound that's fearless, upbeat, and that pours out from the stage.' - Lonely Vagabond (2008)
'There is also a thumping male vibe to this record; it really does conjure up images of lads at the bar. One for the boys, this.' Richard Foster, Incendiary Magazine review of "Born To Bar Band" (2007)
'This rough debut will turn some heads and hopefully the right ones, as a cohesive unit of songs released by a solid record label would give their talents the attention they so deserve.' Sari Delmar, Audioblood Zine review of "Born To Bar Band" (2007)

did you get run out on a train? it sounds like its pretty serious. well, if you do come back let me know. when we come to toronto we will send you the internet high fives
geez, i thought i added a comment sorry i can't work the computer right. it was so witty too. basically it went something like this....you guys sound amazing and i can't believe it took me so long to find you. even though you did all the leg work. except the real version was way better. blame technology. being a prick does sell records. :)
haha, i like that you just accept ur prick status as a part of who u are. its understandable and honest. i don't htink u offended any one of us. we just found out about that site. haven't really been doing the music thing too long. we're slow burners i guess? its funny that i have never heard of u guys and ur so prolific and sound so hype! if you miss guelph you should come back. we could play a show together? the new tracks are really good. happy man!!!!
hey good to hear from you. i have moved to hamilton, starting crop failure up for good now, with a fantastic drummer and bass player. we're hoping to start playing shows in a month. what are you up to, whats the news with the big city nights? maybe we can get you guys a gig down here in hamilton sometime soon and crash with us. i'll keep you posted on how its going with the band, we're just at 5 songs right now, and we'll probably get a myspace soon and i don't know what i'll do with this one. hope you're well and keeping an eye on watchers at night
Remember the Haymakers? Well, the Haymakers remember you. That's why we are letting you know, right NOW, that there are 4 new songs up here on myspace for a low low price of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Can you stand it?!?
yah, I saw gunna go to that, but I got sick and had to work the next morning, so I just bailed. Jealous that you got to see them! Sounds like a good time!
danny? danny lindsay? that fella sure he likes his ice cream. d minor likes the compulsive gamblers too...but only because it rhymes with compulsive ball grabbers HEY OH. I'm just funnin' ya. the bull has hit the glass ceiling as that saying goes, i think? but that lad drops more nut on the floor than a butterfingers at Planters. ah i'm just rufflin' yer feathers. stay hydrated. beat the heat and look both ways.
