NY Press:
“Not content to merely musically recap the fourth season of Lost, these guys have, for their first-ever live show, thrown together an entire duct-tape musical-comedy stage-show extravaganza.”
Washington Post:
“Who needs Television Without Pity when you have Previously on Lost? The Brooklyn band is like a musical version of one of TWOP’s recaplets. During those rare but wonderful weeks when there is actually a new episode of “Lost” – the best show on TV, natch – the group writes a quirky indie rock song covering what went down on the island in the last episode. Musically, it’s definitely more They Might Be Giants than Driveshaft, but lyrically, it’s exactly what you’d expect.”
