Whatever you’re doing on Feb. 25, pull a Houdini and head on down to Mexicali Live to see Escape Directors with The Nico Blues and Roderick. The show will celebrate the first birthday of the group’s debut, Ladders, and it will be the last opportunity to see them in action before they fall through the trapdoor, back into the studio to record their next hit. The Bergen County natives have been tightening up their sound, becoming closer as a group, and they’re ready to prove it on stage, while displaying sounds similar to Coldplay and Death Cab For Cutie.
