This Flight Tonight is a dynamic rock project fronted by Ralph Engle. The band has got bases in both New Zealand and the UK and they have just released their latest EP titled Paradise.
On this episode of Stories In Sound they perform 2 of their songs, Nothing But Tears and Paradise, and discuss their band, its history, influences, and future!
The name "This Flight Tonight" conjures up images of the emotional departures and arrivals at airports. It's those moments of change and new beginnings. It's that spur of the moment decision to take that flight tonight, to escape and set for adventure.
The project begins and ends with one sole songwriter; Ralph Warren Engle. "I write songs as a form of therapy for my own loses and life changes, and I'm set on a musical journey with whoever is available at the time to help arrange and perform the songs." This Flight Tonight project has seen some great contributing talent come and go, just like life's arrivals and departures.
Influences are Radiohead, Coldplay, David Gray, Temper Trap, Pink Floyd and Jeff Buckley.
