Bio:
Friday
Nights is a collaboration between singer/songwriter Mike Castillo
and musician/songwriter/producer Shon Kornfeld.
Castillo sharpened his songwriting skills by playing such Los
Angeles landmarks as the Venice Beach Boardwalk and 3rd Street
Promenade. He eventually formed rock band, "If You See
Kate", who self-released a CD in 2004 and played around
LA for a couple of years before disbanding.
Kornfeld, who's primary instrument is guitar, has written, produced,
recorded and self-released CDs from his bands Helen 55 and Fontaine.
He has toured nationally with the Bulletboys, a brief stint
with LA punk band Stanford Prison Experiment, and continues
to record and produce local artists.
The 2 first met in 1998 when Castillo approached Kornfeld after
a Helen 55 show. He found himself occasionally working for the
band as a roadie and would learn all their songs on guitar.
Kornfeld saw talent in the then 16 year-old Castillo, and they
would keep in touch. In 2005 after IYSK disbanded, Kornfeld
offered to record Castillo's "best song" for free
at his home studio, Moai Sounds. They wound up recording 4 songs
before deciding to combine their recent material and do a complete
record.
The album was mixed by Ken Andrews (Failure, Year of the Rabbit)
in late 2008 and released in late January 2009.
