Billy Magnussen and Reserved For Rondee at The MacBeth in London is described as follows: "Reserved For Rondee was founded in New York City in 2010 by Billy Magnussen (guitar), Tom Degnan (bass) and Warren Hemenway (drums). With the addition of Nick Fokas (guitar) and the electrifying Trevor Vaughn (vocals), the lineup was complete. Reserved for Rondee has been packing club venues around the NYC area with its exciting and diverse brand of indie rock ever since. Drawing inspiration from classic artists like Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, The Who, and U2 and contemporary artists like the White Stripes, the Black Keys and Arcade Fire, Reserved for Rondee blends imagination and style into a mystic rock journey. Without any outside assistance RFR starting out playing intimate Lower East Side venues (Arlene's Grocery, Fontana's, Bowery Electric), RFR quickly progressed to headlining at more spacious clubs (Mercury Lounge and Brooklyn's Glasslands & The Knitting Factory) and supporting national touring acts at theater-sized venues (Irving Plaza and the Gramercy Theater).

In 2011 Reserved For Rondee released its debut video "Year of Warrin'", which was followed up in 2012 by the release of the band's debut self-titled EP. In 2012 Reserved For Rondee also embarked upon a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording it's 1st full-lenth album, Back in Velvet. The campaign led to the band being featured in a profile in Interview Magazine. Now in 2013, RFR is currently mixing & mastering Back in Velvet for it's headlining record release at The Bowery Ballroom August 21st."
