The Misteriosos

Band,
Rock

The Misteriosos are really a bunch of freaks who finally get to play the music they always wanted to, which is some kind of psychedelic rock n roll. An obvious passion for their sound comes through in their songs, which can verge from guitar-fuzzed, organ swirled rock n roll to trance-inducing, narcotic numbers. With influences like early Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, Opal, and The Butthole Surfers, the band managed to play their first show in 2004 as finalists in The Little Steven Contest in Boston. Relieved that they did not win since it may have been exposed that they then only knew two songs, the band fled to Philadelphia. They released their debut album (12 songs) to great reviews in October 2005, and have been playing regulary around the east coast, sharing the stage with notable and diverse bands such as Soledad Brothers, The Blue Van, Akron Family, Soft Explosions, SSM, Le Nombre, Breakup Breakdown, and The Dreadful Yawns. They have found a large following playing New York City regularly. In past incarnations, members of The Misteriosos have played with The Kills, The Greenhornes, The Datsuns, The Seeds, Electric Prunes, The Slackers, and Devotchka, as well as recording with Liam Watson at Toe Rag Studios in London.
