Mirana Comstock · Mirana Comstock, Mesmerizing Indie Pop in Boston

Listen Up

Her first original band, Sighs Five, drew raves from rock press and crowds to such NY hot spots as CBGBs, The Bottom Line, Trax, Gilderseleeves, and Bleecker Street’s Kenny’s Castaways, as well as airplay on NY and college rock radio. Later reincarnated as the harder-rocking Secret Service, Mirana opened for Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, recorded at legendary Electric Lady Studio and Sorcerer Sound, and had multiple music videos in rotation on MTV.

Subsequently moving to the Boston area, Mirana now writes, plays and records as a singer/songwriter, digging deep to write honestly about the joys and angers of relationships and the intricacies of communication. With its sometim es cinematic ebb and flow feeling, Mirana’s music reflects the changing nature of time and tide, love and life.

A GENRE-BENDING 80s VIBE

Originally fronting harder-rocking Sighs Five and Secret Service on the 80s NYC club scene, Mirana had videos featured on MTV and airplay on NYC rock and college radio nationwide. Co-owner of downtown's Soundspace Studio, she also recorded at Electric Lady and opened for top musical acts at the legendary Bottom Line. Now Boston-based, TOT’s sound evolved into a more keyboard-based mix critics have called “a blueprint of how to combine disparate genres into one cogent sound.” Mirana has shared tales from inside that NYC scene, as well as her new and older music, in multiple on-air and online interviews.
