The Secret History, the band formed out of the ashes of Long Island semi-legends My Favorite, have signed to Le Grand Magistery, the boutique indie label that's home to Stars, Momus, Baxendale and others.
According to Grace, The Secret History -- which also includes singer Lisa Ronson, daughter of guitarist Mick -- are working on a five-song EP tentatively titled "Desolation Town" that will include early online demos, the single "It's Not the End of the World, Jonah" and a new ballad called "Palermo." A full-length CD is due next year.
Meantime, catch The Secret History live Mar. 27 at the Galapagos Art Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Check out the band's MySpace page for music.
