No need for introductions we've known each other for years.
You're not staring at a dead man six shots is what got me here.
The opening lines to the song "Hello" couldn't be more spot .. touring most of the world with The Afghan Whigs Singer Steve Myers returned home only to get shot and left for dead on a rainy New Orleans street (read the article here). Myers moved to New York to recover and try to put his past behind him only joining the Dulli lead Twilight Singers occasionally for shows on the East Coast or recording down South. Not until hooking up with fellow New Orleanian Jagon Eldridge in late 2003 did he think about starting a band of his own.
Eldridge, an accomplished saxophone player in his own right who studied under some of the greats had also moved to New York and playing gigs with Andy G and the Roller Kings. Along with fellow Roller King Richie Pomerantz, the three started writing songs in Jagon's apartment.
Pomerantz's drinkin' buddy bass player Paul Verciglio joined a month later. Guitar player/producer Mitro Valsamis who played in the 90's punk band The Trickbabys joined Mighty Fine after hearing early demo's of the songs "RIDE" and "Find Me Another". Subsequently, band locked themselves away for the rest of the summer and part of the fall of 2004 until things felt right.
"We didn't want to play out until we had our shit together" - Myers
Sweaty Rump Shakin' Garage Soul is a great way to describe the band. Or, as Myers puts it, "it's boogie". Mighty Fine is a new band with an old school attitude - the combination of a James Brown styled soul review and sweaty garage rock show. In this band, New York and New Orleans meet at the crossroads and no one moves an inch.
"It's our job to strut and make you dance...simple as that." - Myers
