If theres one thing that I would characterize this band, its the love and passion for music and being good at what we do! It was my dream to come up with a band that would be as passionate, as intense and devoted as I am in music there have been trials and pitfalls but after a long and exhausting but yet gratifying search I can say that dream has been realized. Mismo was born. Different personalities, tastes, musical backgrounds would normally spell disaster or animosity within the group but this is in fact the recipe that makes our band tick I assembled an experienced set of top shelf musicians, Harmony in diversity if you may call it, but it wont take you long to appreciate the subtle mix of our music once you hear us play. It clearly shows that we enjoy what they do, and we want to make our audience feel the same warmly welcoming them into our world of music rather than shunning away the audience when we start doing our thing. Mismo will bring you back in time where bands express their love of music where bands let the people enjoy and have a grand time where the peoples enjoyment is first and foremost which results in a good compromise of our musical taste if you would call it that way. Well give you topnotch music, the way music has to be played, the way songs have to be sung, the way a tight band should sound. You may tag Mismo as a retro band 70s. 80s and 90s retro, but not the typical clich retro bands in the current scene. Our repertoire cant be heard from other bands moving along the same musical genre an example would be the seminal Benny Goodman hit Sing Sing Sing revived as the Club Faces signature song of the 80s or Strike it Up and Everybody by Blackbox. I would like to bring back the trend, where bands put on a show every night where every single night would seem to be the last and MISMO will be at the forefront of this wave!
