ABOUT US

​

​

Mayday! originally formed in 2008, several stories above the bustling streets of NYC where two electric guitars, a bass guitar, drum kit, and a handful of microphones were in need of musicians to let a mounting wave of original songs come through them.

 

Mayday! went on to be awarded Best Original Band of the JamNYC's 2009 "Jammy Awards,” and honored twice again in 2012 and 2013.

 

Mayday! has played and continues to play their energetic live sets around NYC, at venues that include The Bitter End, The Knitting Factory, The Cutting Room, Arlene's Grocery, Pianos, Shrine, Silvana, DROM, Connolly's Klub 45 and The Red Lion.

 

The band's many recordings include the EPs "Five Characters In Search Of An Exit" (2009), "Another Day" (2011), "First Mix's a Charm" (2013), "Impulses" (2018) and “Knowing” (2025). 

 

Now, the Mayday! sound continues to evolve with the addition of well-established lead vocalist and songwriter Mark Aaron James.  Visit our GIGS page for info on upcoming shows.
