Hey, who are these guys?

NITE WOLF is:

Dan Vash - Guitar & Vocals          Mike Alberts - Bass          Bill Weber - Drums

Like most bands Nite Wolf was formed for fun twenty two years ago. Originally a four piece, Nite Wolf's current lineup consists of Dan Vash, Mike Alberts, and Bill Weber, forming one of New Mexico's most powerful, straightforward real rock bands. Nite Wolf's sound is a hybrid of many musical influences, most notably: Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, ZZ Top, and Thin Lizzy. This style has afforded us the opportunity to be billed with some of rocks best artists such as: Blue Oyster Cult, Robin Trower, Pat Travers, Frank Marino, and Savoy Brown.

Nite Wolf's current release "TAKIN' CONTROL" was released in November 1996. Rob Wagaman (District Media Buyer, BEST BUY) "Well produced - it rocks". Kenn Rodriguez (Albuquerque Journal) "Takin' Control, is well-produced, well-recorded, and well done" " the band does some credible power trio work (a la '80s warhorse Triumph)".
