The duo behind Emo Nite, the iconic alternative dance party, T.J. Petracca and Morgan Freed have released a new episode of their podcast, CD Burners, where they deep dive into the albums featured at this year’s When We Were Young Festival.
This week, the two collaborators sat down with the pair behind 3OH!3, Nat Motte and Sean Foreman, to discuss their iconic album WANT and dive into their careers, the many lives they’ve lived, and the wild experiences they’ve had throughout the course of their time as a band.
Up next, TJ and Morgan will be discussing Fall Out Boy following chats with Cove Reber around Saosin’s self titled, A Day To Remember’s Homesick, conversations with J.T. Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights’ around their debut studio album, The Silence In Black and White, Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Pierre, Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn and Rob Cavallo, producer of My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade.
Emo Nite have also announced today their next Los Angeles date set for June 7 at AVALON.

Emo Nite was started by Morgan Freed and T.J. Petracca in December of 2014. Over the last 10 years, Emo Nite has laid the groundwork for artists in the mainstream to bring emo to rapidly growing audiences and help its popularity reach greater heights than ever before and have continued to champion the rising stars that we now see carrying the emo torch.
What started as an iPad plugged into an aux cord at a dive bar in Echo Park, has exploded into a nationwide monthly dance party bridging the gap between the emo scene we grew up with and the spark of its next generation. Emo Nite has flourished into having a regular presence in over 50 cities, fueling mosh pits from coast to coast. Additionally, in these last two years alone, Petracca and Freed made their debut at coveted festivals across the country like Coachella, Hangout Music Fest, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Fest, HARD Summer and more, playing sets filled with emo and pop punk classics to packed crowds. They also launched their FIRST EVER residency at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas, which sold out all of its dates.
Most recently, Emo Nite partnered with Insomniac, the world’s leading music festival and live events experience creator. As they combine their expertise, the two powerhouse promoters launched a brand new event series, GRAVE at the TORCH. The brands shared passion and creative synergy will bring forth other collaborative music and apparel projects planned in the future and more live experiences.
