Kyle Lucas, lead vocalist of Vonnegutt, the latest band signed to Big Boi of Outkast’s Purple Ribbon Records, joins Captain Midnite, producer for T. Mills, The Let Go and Sol to form the collective Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite. Following Vonnegutt’s performance at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festivals in 2010, Lucas returns to the festival stage…this time alongside long-time producer Captain Midnite. Midnite, instrumental in the Atlanta-based rappers solo success, joins Lucas from Seattle, Washington. A prominent name in the hip-hop and production scene in the Emerald City, Midnite has been named to Seattle Weekly’s Reader’s Choice Best Local Musicians. Working as both a soloist and with the hip-hop group The Let Go, Midnite will team up with Lucas on stage after producing two EP’s with the rapper, first discovered and signed by Big Boi of Outkast. The Lucas-Captain Midnite duo first collaborated in the summer of 2009 when a ten-day union and recording spree in the studio resulted in Lucas’s critically acclaimed EP “I Brought Dead Flowers to a Funeral.” With the success of Lucas’ powerful verses put to Captain Midnite’s beats, the two reunited yet again to record the duo’s second EP “The Sky is Falling and I’m Fine” in January 2011. Captain Midnight’s solo EP - Purple Heart Vendetta – was released in the summer of 2010. Receiving immediate critical acclaim, the record was produced by Casey Bates (producer of Pierce The Veil, Chiodos, A Skylit Drive, and Portugal. The Man). Midnite was later featured in the February issue of Alternative Press as a Top Unsigned Band for his work on the EP. Additionally, Midnite’s Seattle-based hip-hop group, The Let Go, was named one of of Airwalk/AP's Top 10 Unsigned Bands of 2010 Next up for Lucas, Vonnegutt will be on this summer's Vans Warped Tour and releases their mixtape $Free.99 on May 23.
