Morgan Freed and T.J. Petracca of Emo Nite Interview Don't Shit On The Bus

Everyone welcome the wonderful team behind your favorite party - Emo Nite. If you haven’t been to Emo Nite yet, I highly recommend it. Morgan & T.J. put their passion and lives into this project and it shows. Was a pleasure to talk with them on how they started working together, became friends and what their future goals are for Emo Nite. If you are going to Coachella make sure to catch their set. Otherwise chances are - Emo Nite is in a city near you sometime soon. I look forward to the next time I get to hang out with these humans.

• What makes Emo Nite stand out from other parties
• How Morgan and T.J. create an ever-evolving party
