Episode #62 - The Early Years - Part 4 - Gigging Again in 2012 / First Bio

This week we continue our series of episodes dedicated to the
Early Days of Night Demon. We pick up the story in spring
2012.  Brent and John had been jamming Night Demon material
while Jarvis played out with his main project, Jeff Hershey and
the Heartbeats. Bolstered by John's confidence and steadfast
belief, as well as the support of pirate radio station KSSR,
Night Demon started gigging again in spring 2012.  The
setlists of those shows included "Chalice 2," which later became
"Satan." During this period, Night Demon tightened up the logo
and squeezed in gigs in between the members' very active main
bands' live performances. As the calendar moved to fall 2012,
Night Demon published their first official bio as they continued
inching towards being a serious band. Shortly after the bio was
issued, Jarvis went on tour in Europe with the Heartbeats. A
chance encounter on a rough night in Spain reminded him that
Night Demon was his destiny, even as Brent and John kept the home
fires burning for Night Demon in Ventura. The band worked out a
cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You" in late 2012 to energize them
going into 2013.
