It’s 36 hours before vocalist/guitarist Jeff Golightly is due to celebrate the release of The Everyday Parade‘s self-titled (and self-released) debut at Nocturnal.
Golightly’s no stranger to the local music scene — in the 1980s, he played in one of the city’s first new wave bands, The Crime, darlings of the early Antenna Club scene, who shared the stage with the likes of the B-52s and released a memorable single, “ICU” b/w “Do the Pogo” on Capitol Punishment Records. Then reality intervened, and Golightly put his stage persona on hold to raise a family.
Fast-forward 20 years, to the formation of The Everyday Parade.
The band’s debut album, a paean to ’80s power pop that features rockers such as “Everything’s Burning” and “Negative Creep,” pairs Golightly and his former Crime bandmate Rick Camp with drummer Leh Sammons and bassist Tom Wilson. It was recorded at Midtown studio Rocket Science Audio with engineer Kyle Johnson. You can hear it live on Saturday night — The Everyday Parade is slated to perform at 11:30 p.m., after openers Kitchens & Bathrooms and David Brookings.
