An emerging trio with a transient sound, a chunky edge, and a jazz inspired soul that lends to a tasty groove. If you enjoy walking away from a gig with a face-wide grin then checkout a live set at your next opportunity.

Having found themselves especially at home on stage at The Troubadour, Tongue and Groove, and the Milk Bar, nightillion are a band that embraces the intimacy of a live set to create an atmosphere conducive to sharing the energy created onstage. Recently recruiting a dedicated and talented guest percussionist, nightillion are steadily mastering the art of engaging an audience – and getting them to come back – with a proven ability to draw numbers.

Marièl has a distinct vocal, driven from roots and blues, essentially influenced by early jazz. Through her guitar she picks an intricate weave of tonal melody and chord(al) accompaniment. Krissi brings the low end, laced with mowtown and dub inspired grooves. Nathan is the percussive gel of this trio, rhythmical, musical, -versatile. Together they create a live sound that is unobtrusive, roots driven, and fretlessly smooth.

Since formation, nightillion has been networking with local bands and have the ability to present a full nights worth of support artists as well as simply filling a short time slot. The band members are advocates for live and independent music in Brisbane, and look forward with the view of sustainability for the live music scene. Above and beyond the call for unity of musicianship in Brisbane, nightillion are prepared to go wherever opportunity may knock. Regional, national, and international tours and supports are all in the foreseeable future of the band.

Contact any of the members of nightillion at or Nathan on 0414 904 100 & Krissi on 0411255792 for enquiries and further details.
