This album is at the center of the OASIS trilogy: OASIS (Prelude) in 2021, OASIS in 2022, and OASIS (Epilogue) in 2023.

As he studied graphic design, the visual aspect of his art has always been essential for Darius: he always contributes to the design of his music videos, album covers, stage design, and merchandise.

Night Cap
2025-11-14 18:00 - 23:00
Announcing – Night Cap is headlining The Music Yard on Friday, November 14th!

Night Cap is an indie rock band, born and raised in Austin, Texas. Soon after the band’s formation in 2017, they became known for their now signature sound – rife with emotional builds, feel-good melodies, and just the right touch of nostalgia – as their debut single ‘Everest’ quickly amassed over 1 million streams. What has followed has been festival plays at Austin City Limits Luck Reunion, and Floatfest, an Audiotree recording in Chicago, dozens of sold out shows across Night Cap’s native Texas, and a slew of releases, highlighted by recent singles ‘Sentimental’, ‘Eileen’, and ‘Glimpse’, that have racked up 7 million streams across the band’s catalogue.

With their dynamic style and engaging live performances, Night Cap has developed a knack for winning over audiences across Texas and beyond. The pairing of Ryan King and Jake Bomgaars, the band’s guitar-wielding vocalist duo, demonstrate a harmonic compatibility that feels as natural as it is captivating, delivering thoughtful lyricism and snappy choruses alongside bandmates Alex Alfonso (bass), Adrian Ayala (keys), and Stijn Dobbelaere (drums). After a run of collaborations and performances alongside heavy-hitting acts such as Dayglow, Briston Maroney, slenderbodies, Wilderado, Mt. Joy, and most recently, Krooked Kings.
