Night Beats is an American psychedelic, garage rock band that emerged from the musical hotbed of Seattle, Washington, in 2009. The brainchild of Texas-native Danny Lee Blackwell, Night Beats hark back to the heyday of psychedelic rock with their reverb-laden guitars and groovy rhythms, all while weaving in elements of soul and R&B. The band's name itself is inspired by the Sam Cooke album "Night Beat," which hints at their reverence for classic soul influences merged with a raw, garage-rock edge.

As they continue to evolve musically, Night Beats have become known for their dynamic live performances and a series of compelling studio releases. The band hit a stride with albums such as "Who Sold My Generation" and the more recent "Outlaw R&B," which exudes a grittier sound steeped in the lore of Americana. Their work, including tracks like "Hell in Texas," "Revolution," and their live rendition of "Ticket," showcases a maturing yet adventurous band unafraid to explore the fringes of rock music, bringing a modern touch to vintage sounds. With Blackwell at the helm, Night Beats remain a formidable force within the contemporary psych-rock scene, consistently delivering hypnotic tunes that allure listeners to their pulsating nocturnal beat.
