Tour Diary: Beware of Darkness

S.B. Rockers Look Back on a Year on the Road

When you first start writing songs, you never think it’s going to allow you to travel the world. When it happens, you realize how powerful music can be.

It’s been a wild year for Beware of Darkness. The L.A.-based garage rock band, fronted by 23-year-old Santa Barbaran Kyle Nicolaides, has spent the bulk of the past 12 months touring the world, sharing stages with legendary acts like The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction. This week, Nicolaides and bandmates Tony Cupito and Daniel Curcio wrap up their travels with a homecoming concert at SOhO. Here, Nicolaides shares some of his favorite snaps and memories from his rock ‘n’ roll road trip.
