“I’m biased, but it’s basically the coolest Tuesday night you can have in New York City: walking into Chinatown, into this small mixology bar and seeing too big of a band and too small of a space, but somehow it works. And we’ve been doing it for 11 years,” said Evan Howard, who founded the band after moving to New York from New Orleans back in 2009.
