Devil's Nite
Devil's Nite was a Detroit-based hard rock band that ended up recording a number of albums and EPs throughout the 1990s until their eventual dissolution in 2001. The band's longest tenured lineup consisted of August (vocals), Mike Mitchell (guitar), Tim Lafferty (bass) and Mark Causley (drums).
Devil's Nite was considered one of the more exciting young rock acts to hit the music scene at the time, quickly developing local notoriety with their intense live performances and impressive stages built by the band themselves, using fog machines, ramps, lasers and a bevy of lights, all of which was highly unusual at the time, particularly for an up-and-coming local band. With a sound that was compared in its early years to "early Van Halen, but with a '90s edge", this band was thought to have the drive and ability to bring hard rock back to the center stage of modern music, as unlikely as it seemed in the early 1990s, with the advent of grunge. Forming in the spring of 1992, the foursome from Detroit released the ''Just For The Hell Of It'' EP (1993), ''The Judas Factor'' (1994), the ''Caustic'' EP (1996), ''Primitive'' (1999), the ''Four In One'' EP (1999) and ''What In The World'' (2001).
==Early years==
From ''The Judas Factor'' came Devil's Nite's first radio single, "Raging Storm", which received both national air play on the Z-Rock radio network as well as international air play in Denmark, Italy, Canada and throughout Europe on U.S. Military Radio. Having quickly established themselves as one of the most energetic and entertaining acts in Michigan, the band then went on to win the 1994 Mid-Michigan Best Band Competition and later earned nominations for Best Live Act, Best Band and Best Guitarist in the 1995 Detroit Live Awards (voted on by local bar owners and fellow musicians). With their reputation growing with each live performance, the band became one of the only local bands to grace the cover of the Weekender Magazine, following in the footsteps of such acts as Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe.
As songs were being written for their next album, other opportunities presented themselves, including a Star Search-type contest that they won handily (although the prize, recording time in a Nashville, Tennessee studio, was never used) and a contest held at the Ritz in Roseville, a popular rock club during the 1980s and early 1990s in the Detroit area, to record an original song for an independent film called ''Archangel''. There were so many bands competing that the event was split up into two days, and although Devil's Nite won for their night, they lost by an extremely narrow margin to the second night's winner in a final judge's vote. It was during this event, however, that Mike Mitchell came up with the idea for Stone Soup, a series of charity events which included both a free concert where donations were taken to benefit local homeless shelters as well as volunteer work done at said shelters, not only by the members of Devil's Nite, but other local band members as well.
