Two things I love about Philadelphia are the local artists and posters. To combine them is just magical for me.
That is why I love the Nite Lights.
The Nite Lights are an eccentric rock band from Philadelphia. I came to know them not from their music but from frontman Joe B.’s posters that are scattered around the city: in the girl’s bathroom at Lucky 13 Pub, going down the steps at Tattooed Moms, above the bar at Bishop’s Collar, and so on (oh no…I only mentioned bars. I really am an 
alcoholic!).
I became infatuated with these dark posters; usually featuring some sort of ironically twisted scene and/or political theme. But what interests me the most is all the posters are done in black and white. They are completely absorbing; forcing you to stare long enough to recognize it the next time you see a similar design.
There’s power in color simplicity that lets these posters jump out from a wall of other posters with bands missing vowels in their name and feature neon exclamation points with flying tigers on top of a shocking pink background…eek!
Check out The Nite Lights posters and music at their Myspace
