Sounds Like
This is what people have told us we sound like: Joe Jackson + Fountains of Wayne + The Replacements + The Strokes + early R.E.M. + Talking Heads + Weezer + early Elvis Costello + Pixies + The Rolling Stones + other bands that sound like these bands. But we mostly try to sound like Billy Joel.
Here's how a nice man from The New York Press describes us:
"For Pavement fans with A.D.D....addled with starts and stops, groovy bridges, quirky lyrics and clever chops. Lead singer Billy Lopez, brother of Robert Lopez of AVENUE Q fame, is a gifted songwriter, a slacker-rocker with an actual work ethic."
AC Adaptors will have you humming, singing, and dancing along to their rock songs in no time. They rehearse in a church in Harlem. You can catch them at places like The Annex, Arlene's Grocery, The Knitting Factory, Rothko, Pete's Candy Store, and parties around the city.
this is our one and only NY show for a while and it's for an amazing cause. if you don't know about love146 yet, please check it out and come support the abolition of child sex trafficking.
you deserve this NY...
