Standbys: Rock Band in New York

About Standbys

Standbys is a Rock/Pop group appearing on New York City bills at Arlene’s Grocery, a room known for close-range sets and quick turnarounds. They’ve shared lineups with Matthew Lee, Suddenly, Kya, and Randle Browning, including the multi-artist event “Matthew Lee & Standbys / Suddenly / Kya / Randle Browning.” The band works inside the classic club format: tight songs, direct vocals, and a rhythm section built for small-stage volume. Their performances favor clarity over spectacle.
