I would have posted this yesterday, but I spent most of the day away from the computer, enjoying the beautiful weather. I also find it quite an interesting challenge to write about a band I like so much. This night was particularly fun for me because I recently became an assistant organizer of a rock meetup group. Since I am always going to shows and 1/2 the time I am by myself I thought it would be fun to invite other people who are into the NYC music scene to join me. My new friend Godfrey joined me for this show and despite being into much heavier rock, he really liked The Secret Life of Sofia. He even bought their CD after the show.

This was my 3rd time seeing The Secret Life of Sofia and they played at Cake Shop, on the Lower East Side. They played a couple of new songs and some from their CD "Seven Summits" and EP "Empty Sleeves" which was great because I know those so well it's really cool hearing the live versions. Of the new songs, there's one about a childhood crush that I really like.

I also really enjoyed the show since I wasn't taking pictures and could just focus on the music. (Godfrey took the pic above.) After, we chatted with Kyle a bit and I have to say aside from being a fantastic band they are just so nice. They seem to genuinely appreciate their fans. Unfortunately this will be the last show for awhile as the guys are all taking vacations.

If you would like to check out one of the best CDs of 2008, which is not just my opinion but that of several music bloggers, you can order "Seven Summits" from their myspace page or I think it's still available from Insound. More info on the band at:
