[...]The location is not disclosed until midnight the day of the performance, and the performers themselves are not revealed until the show begins at the set time. Past surprise guests have included such famous faces as the National, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Pattinson, who performed at a show in London. But Sofar Sounds largely focuses on promoting independent artists before they hit it big.
[...]Sofar Sounds began in London in 2009, after founders Rafe Offer, Dave Alexander and Rocky Start were looking for an alternative to the noisy venues they usually frequented to take in live music. They found their actual homes to be ideal. Others seemed to agree, and Sofar Sounds is now in 69 cities around the globe, with 40,000 worldwide members and 2,000 here in New York. The company came to NYC in 2011, and has grown from one to at least three shows a month.
