The Secret Life Of Sofia may be the most consistently impressive band playing in New York right now. Their last few shows have featured newly added members Chris Brazee and Fraser McCulloch, formerly of the much-missed Mistakes. And if you’re familiar with the Mistakes, you can probably imagine the little extra bounce these guys have [...]

The show at The Delancey on Saturday night — featuring locals Gold Streets and Chop Shop with Boston bands The Self Righteous Brothers and Baker — was a lot of fun.
Chop Shop got things off to a great start. Last time we saw them, they had just added Rebecca Capua as the sixth member of [...]

Today is a bittersweet day. Last week, Mistakes announced that they’re calling it quits. Tonight’s show at The Annex will be their last show ever. This is a band who has consistently been one of the most entertaining live bands in town the last few years. Impressive musicianship, amazing on-stage personality. Every moment of a [...]
