THE MIGHTY FNE (New York, NY)
Sweaty Rump Shakin' Garage Soul is an apt way to describe The Mighty Fine, the combination of a James Brown styled soul review and sweaty garage rock show. New York and New Orleans meet at the crossroads and no one moves an inch!
After 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 ). Myers moved to New York to recover and try to put his past behind him only joining the Greg Dulli -led Twilight Singers occasionally for shows or recording down. Not until hooking up with fellow New Orleanians in New York City in late 2003 did he think about starting a band of his own band.
After self releasing the band debut EP “ The Dirty Sessions” in 2006, the band went on to open for acts such as TV On The Radio, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Dirtbombs, The Slackers, & The Gutter Twins just to name a few. Early production for the ‘Get Up To Get Down’ album started a few years later and to keep but expand on the sound of their previous work the band recorded everything on 12 track tape and played every song live to keep the raw feeling of a Mighty Fine show. With guest appearances from Mick Collins from The Dirt Bombs, David Hillyard & Glen Pine from the Slackers and Greg Dulli from the Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers, ‘Get Up to Get Down’ is a true party record.
