Neverending White Lights Bring In The Noise

The dreamy atmosphere presented on both Neverending WhiteLights albums make it easy to forget they're essentially rock records. NWL mastermind Daniel Victor, hasn't forgotten, however, as he proved on Saturday. The night started simply enough with '90s rock icon Rob Dickinson of Catherine Wheel singing his newer solo work.

Neverending White Lights — Act II: The Blood And The Life Eternal

Windsor, Ont. native Daniel Victor often refers to Neverending White Lights as a "project," and not as a band.

For Act II, he's tapped the likes of Aqualung, Sune Rose Wagner (The...
