History
Formation
The band was formed in late 2012, when lead singer Mandy Lee wanted an 80s cover band for her birthday party. She partnered with fellow musicians Etienne Bowler and William Hehir. Lee met Hehir through a mutual friend, and was introduced to Bowler a short time later. At the time, the two had been working at restaurants just a block apart in Manhattan. Eventually the band would expand to its current set-up of five members by bringing Bowler's friends Blum and Campbell (not including the band's saxophonist Mike Murphy), and play its first show as 'MisterWives' (A gender-flipped play on the term for the 19th-century Mormon practice of polygamy, Sister Wives) on February 1, 2013 at the Canal Room in New York City.

Reflections - EP
by: Misterwives[Verse 1]
Overflow fill me up all the way
So there's no space to remain
Flood the thoughts that have tainted
All the good that life has painted
Setting free from captivity
What binded hopes, meant to be
Casting out what's newly found
Go and scream and shout it loud
[Chorus]
No no no no no,
never ever gunna get to break me down
Had me on the ground,
Shaking underneath was a roaring sound
Growing rapidly
Was the speed of rebirthed
kings and queens
[Verse 2]
Constellations opened up
How fragile our existence is
To be so small but feel so grand
Exploring you, ignoring commands
Timeless clocks will eventually
Come to a stop
Breathe you in
Resonate what lies between
good and sin
[Chorus]
No no no no no,
never ever gunna get to break me down
Had me on the ground,
Shaking underneath was a roaring sound
Growing rapidly
Was the speed of rebirthed
kings and queens
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh [x2]
[Bridge]
Reflections becoming inspections
Of what you as and what's really there
Eyes dressed in disguise
As portals to life and it's demise
Wonder as loud as thunder
Light showed the insight
[Chorus]
No no no no no,
never ever gunna get to break me down
Had me on the ground,
Shaking underneath was a roaring sound
Growing rapidly
Was the speed of rebirthed
kings and queens
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh
