The Nightlight has never been
afraid to get weird. A glimpse at the
beloved local venue’s website proves
just as much — scattered between
touring acts and local pop and rock
favorites, you’ll find dance installa-

and area noise showcases.
But on the eve of its eighth year
of business, the club’s next move

fans who frequent it look ahead to
an uncertain future.
Alexis Mastromichalis, the
Nightlight’s owner, has been
around to see plenty of changes
since she took over in 2004.
“Every year something changes,”
she said. “The biggest change is
probably obviously transitioning
from Skylight Exchange and get-

the transition was a welcome one.
“I always would play a show
there and then I’d get a cold or
something afterwards,” said Dan
McGee, Spider Bags’ guitarist and
vocalist. “It’s nice that they cleared
all that out. It’s a cool place.”
The atmosphere might have
shifted, but one thing has been
a constant in the venue’s past —
its support of fringe arts, be they
visual, sonic or somewhere in
between.
“I like that there’s a venue where
you can just go and see noise music.
The Nightlight’s always been the
noise venue in town,” McGee said.
