About This Event

The Night Agents aren’t just a band—they are the ultimate social dance party. Founded by Jeremy Pilling, professional dancer and owner of the Palomar Ballroom, the group was built with a singular mission: to create a cover band that would keep the dance floor packed all night long. Not only can you freestyle to every song, but you can partner dance to every song, something unique to their band.

Fronted by the suave male & female lead duo, they deliver an authentic multi-decade, multi-genre experience few bands can match. This intriguing 5-piece band moves effortlessly through rock, pop, hip-hop, and disco. From the grit of ZZ Top and the groove of Michael Jackson to the flow of Young MC and the pure pop of ABBA, the momentum is dramatic and energetic.

Whether you’re looking to West Coast Swing to a modern groove, East Coast Swing to a classic rock hit, or just freestyle to the 70s–2000s, the energy never stops. If you're ready to dance through the decades, they are ready to play.

Visiting The 418 Project: What to Expect

House guidelines to ensure a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone

We are committed to a safe, welcoming environment where everyone is treated with cultural and personal respect across all backgrounds and identities. We hold the highest standards for consent—in movement, touch, and conversation. Always check in first, honor boundaries, and ensure that consent is clear, voluntary, and ongoing.

As a community-run non-profit collective with a small staff, we cannot clean everything after every event. Please help us care for the space by picking up after yourself, placing recycling and compost in the bins provided, and treating every room with kindness so it remains welcoming for the next gathering.

We have a filtered water bottle refill station on-site, so feel free to bring a refillable bottle. All restrooms are all-gender, ADA-accessible, and located conveniently on the ground floor.

To ensure everyone can breathe and move comfortably—especially community members with chemical sensitivities and asthma—The 418 Project is a low-fragrance space. Please refrain from applying perfumes, scented colognes, or strongly scented lotions before attending.

As an artist-driven non-profit collective, we believe movement and art should be accessible to all regardless of financial circumstances. Many events feature sliding scale tickets, and we offer work-trade opportunities for community members who wish to volunteer in exchange for admission.
