The brainchild of four friends, Jaymes, Al, Mike and Chris, Smile Pretty Misery found its genesis in the Long Island club scene. From there, it has spread its blend of Indiepopjazzrockiness (one word) to places all over the island, having rocked colleges from Queens College to Stonybrook U and several in between. Songs from their self-released EP, Measured in Miles, can be heard on such radio stations as WUSB 90.1, 88.7 WRHU and 94.3 WMJC, with plans to be on many more in the New Year. Along the way, they picked up a stowaway drummer named Cliff. With a very radio friendly “catchiness” and sweet taste for the off color, bitter, and ironic, Smile Pretty Misery has a sweet soul that can sooth and satiate. You’ll love them.
