Brooklyn Based: Previously on Lost

by

Our neighbors Brooklyn Based
celebrate the season premiere of Lost
with a party featuring Brooklyn band, Previously on Lost. The interview (and explanation) follows.

Was it “Lost” that inspired you to become the world’s first recap band?
Lost is one of those shows where you watch it and immediately think “How can I be a part of this? What is my purpose in the Lost empire?” For us, the answer was there all along, in our hearts. We felt it was our privilege AND duty to provide weekly recaps to get Lost viewers through the week.

Can you recap the past four seasons in a lyric or two?
Friends who have crashed are now lost in the sea
Secrets released without reason or rhyme
We watch and stay true, to the remaining few
though we don’t know what’s going on half of the time
