Night Shop is the songwriting project of Justin Sullivan. Sullivan has worked as a touring drummer for the past twenty years, much of which was spent playing house shows, warehouses and art spaces with a half dozen punk bands. In 2009, he joined The Babies alongside Kevin Morby and Cassie Ramone of Vivian Girls. When the band went on hiatus in 2013, Sullivan moved to Los Angeles with Morby and continued working with him as a staple of the live band and performing on four of Morby's studio albums until 2017. Shortly before starting to release music as Night Shop, Sullivan also formed the post punk outfit Flat Worms, with Tim Hellman of Oh Sees and Will Ivy. Following a debut S/T E.P. in 2017, Night Shop released In the Break, his full length debut for Mare Records (Morby's imprint on the Woodsist label) in 2018, followed by a pair of singles ("Hello Take Me Anywhere" and "The Cafe of Eternal Youth") in 2020 on Dangerbird Records. In the Fall of 2020, Night Shop released an E.P. called The Fountain on Salinas Records.
