New York’s Finest Go Global: Brazil, Atlantic City, NYC!!
A little under three years ago, New York’s Finest began as a good-natured experiment. A proper power trio of seasoned New York City rockers—Oscar Bautista, Alan Camlet & Mark Rinzel—met a challenge from the high priestess of NYC tribute rock, Cathy Cervenka. Her request? A Classic Album night performance of Outlandos D’Amour, the hit-heavy debut masterpiece by The Police. New York’s Finest played its first show three weeks later in August 2010.
Since then, we’ve kept true to our vision of this band. It remains three guys who cut their musical teeth on The Police as kids. It’s three musicians who know each other from years of banging it out on the Lower East Side, in Yonkers Irish pubs, in basement rehearsal studios, at Long Island weddings, at wherever it is that musicians play when all they really care about is playing. New York’s Finest know that what made The Police great were three guys who played those amazing songs ferociously but with finesse, guys who left everything on the stage in a sweaty mess.
We don’t do wigs. We don’t impersonate. WE PAY TRIBUTE!
We kept to that mission and vision for three years. And so we are humbled to tell our awesome fans and friends about the amazing summer we have ahead of us.

—>Then it’s back to AC on 8/10 to play Revel Casino
**Two 60 minute sets at 2PM and 8PM!
—> FINALLY, we are heading to BRAZIL for three shows in the coastal resort Florionapolis, 8/16, 8/17 & 8/18. This has been a dream of ours since staring this band, knowing that The Police are enormously popular there.
It because of your support and enthusiasm that we are able to announce this news! Thanks so much, and we’ll see you at Arlene’s!

First off, we cannot thank everyone enough for the month of August. Our residency at Arlene’s Grocery was predictably a blast and our Brooklyn Bowl performance of Synchronicity for Classic Album Nightwas a major triumph. Our guest vocalists, Katia Floreska and Amanda Sayle, both did a kick-ass job as well. Look for video from that show in the coming weeks!
Coming up, we have another great night planned with Unforgettable Fire, one of the best damned tributes you will ever see, at the Canal Room on October 12. We are honored to open for them. Look for a reprise of this Police-to-U2 passing of the torch.
