[edit] History
The bandmates started the group in 2002 with the name afterEIGHT, after the demise of their previous group, known as twenty-4-seven.
The name afterEIGHT came to be when vocalist/bassist Bryson Phillips and guitarist Brett Admire worked in a small restaurant named Lee's Diner. After looking for a practice place, the owner allowed them to practice there as long as it was after eight o' clock. After weeks of saying "Practice tonight...after eight", the band chose the name afterEIGHT.
After a recent overhaul and the addition of new members and Jonny Williams, the band has changed in style, and recently released the album "Better Late Than Never". In December 2007, afterEIGHT announced to the public on their Myspace they had been signed to Tooth & Nail Records.
The band has supported bands such as Anberlin, Kutless, Falling Up, Skillet, SONICFLOOd, Relient K, subseven, Kids in the Way, Hawk Nelson, Project 86, Dizmas, Rooney, The Academy Is..., Bowling for Soup, The Vanished, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Disciple, and Thousand Foot Krutch.
On February 5, 2008, AfterEIGHT officially changed their name to Capital Lights. The band then toured in Spring 2008 as the opening act to the Green T Tour, headlined by fellow Tooth and Nail act Hawk Nelson and second act Run Kid Run.
