Secret Mall was formed in the summer of 2016 by four young New York based musicians looking to combine their musical upbringing in jazz with their similar senses of humor and fascination with internet culture. The collective, with
Alfredo Colon on the Electric Wind Instrument,
Edward Gavitt on guitar,
Steve Williams on bass, and
Andres Valbuena on drums has had the chance to perform in many recognized spaces despite being together for a short period of time. These spaces include: The Jazz Gallery, The Underbrook Theater at Yale University, The New School (The New Stone/The Glassbox), Shapeshifter Lab, and Williamsburg Music Center. In July 2017,

 

Secret Mall released their debut EP titled YeeP, with original compositions by all members combining the sounds of modern jazz, futurefunk, and vaporwave. The strong camaraderie present in Secret Mall allows the music to flow into many different places, making each presentation the band gives completely different to any previous one, but always present is the humor and silliness that united the group in the first place.
