Post date November 6, 2025

Carla and Lynette Gillis from Overnight are here to discuss their new album, Put Me In Your Light, being so close, they’ve followed each other around North America, being into fashion and heavy metal, whether or not the androgyny of hair metal was more subversive than we tend to think, escapism and separation anxiety, loss, grief, and therapy, the surprising resonance of their old band Plumtree’s song “Scott Pilgrim” well after it inspired a graphic novel and major film, working with the great producer Charles Austin, the comprehensive Gillis Music Archive on Bandcamp, a hometown release show in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, other future plans, and more.
