Great Mistakes

Put down your boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Great Mistakes, hailing from just south of your childhood fantasies and north of modern-day musical standards have arrived to make you dance—and to make you feel. David Whateley, with an internalized, uncontrollable rage that is soothed only by the sweet and succulent sound of his own voice leads on vocals, guitar and pelvic thrusts. Simon Jones, a full-time doctor just doing this between films tantalizes and titillates on the guitar, grooving so smooth you almost don’t notice you're double-parked in a handicapped zone.

Born and raised in The Bronx, NYC this humble cat has been making waves in the music game for quite sometime. Nourished on vinyl selections of disco, soul and salsa by his parents in his formative years, Alix was conditioned to be a musical mastermind at an early age.
