The 11 Best Songs By Late Night Alumni

There comes a point when a side project becomes bigger than the artist who created it.  This happens when the new band has a life of its own, it's own fan base...who many don't even know the guitarist was in some 80s hair metal band.  Late Night Alumni's famous member is EDM darling, Kaskade.  I guess it's a sign of the times that when a DJ has a side project...it's an actual band.  I've been recommended LNA for a couple years now...and two of the people who recommended them to me didn't even know that Kaskade was in the band.  One of them didn't even know who Kaskade was.  I told her he was a big DJ.  She replied, there's no such thing.  I just smile and nodded.  I guess we won't be seeing her at EDC this year.
