Night Riots
Night Riots is an American alternative rock band from San Luis Obispo, California. Formed in 2010, the band consists of Travis Hawley (lead vocals), Nick Fotinakes (guitar), Matt DePauw (guitar), Mikel Van Kranenburg (bass), and Rico Rodriguez (drums).
==History==
Travis Hawley, Nick Fotinakes, Matt DePauw, and Mikel van Kranenburg were raised in Templeton, California, and they all met in middle school. They learned how to play instruments together in high school and decided to form a band.〔 After graduating from high school, the quartet split for a brief period.〔 With the addition of Rico Rodriguez to the lineup as the drummer, they reformed in 2010 as PK. The name was inspired by the character PeeKay in Australian author Bryce Courtenay's novel ''The Power of One''. Able to relate to his "() from the bottom to overcome adversity", the band agreed that he was a "pretty awesome character" and were able to take away from him that they "could indeed take over the world if we just work hard and don't let anything get in our way!"〔 They self-released their debut studio album ''Into the Roaring'' in 2010. The band traveled and performed at high schools and college campuses on weekdays, and music venues on weekends within the same city.〔 ''MTV Buzzworthy'' included PK on its "The Most Criminally Overlooked Artists of 2012" list.
In order to eliminate any trademark concerns with PK in the future, the band decided to change its name. The band decided on Night Riots in order to better encapsulate their sound; yearning for a "latchkey feel", they cited the energy of shows that take place at night as determining their new name.〔 They also explained that, while PK was a "great name", its meaning was difficult to interpret and failed to project any imagery.〔 Night Riots sought to raise money through crowd funding website Indiegogo to release their upcoming extended play (EP), where they accumulated $12,000. The money was used to independently release ''Young Lore'' on July 30, 2013.
In the Fall of 2014 Night Riots debuted their single "Contagious" on radio station KROQ and supported musician K.Flay on a US tour. On October 23, 2014 they premiered their music video for Contagious through MTV and announced their signing to Sumerian Records. On January 20, 2015 their EP ''Howl'' was released and the band was spotlit by Live 105 in San Francisco as "Aaron Axelsen’s Top 16 New Acts To Watch In 2015". In February 2015 Night Riots embarked on their first full US headlining tour. In March and April 2015 Night Riots were main support on The Mowgli's US and Canada headlining tour. In May 2015, Night Riots performed for the entire Vans Warped Tour 2015. On September 16, 2015, Night Riots performed at the world debut of the all-new, tenth-generation Honda Civic Sedan.
