Robbers On High Street
Robbers on High Street are an American indie rock band from New York.They began performing publicly during the summer of 2002, but the band's roots stretch back much farther. Ben Trokan and Steve "Sparky" Mercado have been friends since their preteen years growing up in the upstate New York town of Poughkeepsie. After high school, Trokan moved to New York, where he met and began playing with Tomer Danan, who were both big fans of Spoon. In Poughkeepsie, Mercado reconnected with Jeremy Phillips, an old school friend.
