We had the privilege to play this event at the Arts Cypher back in Nov. 2009. Here’s a nicely done video highlighting the book and the release party. We show up around the 5:40 mark.
We had a blast this past Saturday at the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria. It was a bit windy, to say the least, but the place was packed and we had the dance floor jumping!
On Sept. 13, 2009 we played the Richmond County Fair at Historic Richmond Town. We took the stage after local legends The Elegants and before our sister band The Bad Mouth Betties.
Here’s a video courtesy of Steve Corn, the man behind Rock Cast of Staten Island.
In December we played an office holiday party in the West Village, and there was a camera programmed to snap a photo every few minutes to document the proceedings. We start to set up around the 22-second mark. Cue “Yakety Sax.”
This piece was painted by our dear friend DLove back in 2008. You can see more of DLove’s work here or at dlovegallery.com.
And here’s DLove in Austin, TX, on Jan. 29 while road-trippin’ with our own Mikey Levay. Big ups to the Bandulus rocksteady crew!
On Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009, we took the stage in the middle of Van Duzer Street and played a fun set to an appreciative crowd. Our good friend Milton Henry graced us with his presence and we launched into his classic tune “Good Old Days.” The folks at SiCoLab were kind enough to put together this clip:
As our very own Nicole Pignatelli said on Facebook, “Check out your hottie sister-band, Bandulos! Who knew the Sands Street studio could be so foxy?”
Indeed!
The Betties are, from left to right, Nicole Pignatelli, Tina Kenny, Erika Strobel, Katie Ballou, and Ann Marie Nacchio.
Here’s a video from Aug. 16, 2008 when we played at a b-boy competition at the NYC Arts Cypher. Just some funky jams and a touch of reggae. Around the two-minute mark is when some b-boys start to get down.
While checking up on the status of our brand (i.e., Googling “bandulos”), I stumbled upon this set of videos from the 1980s. I love the Internet.
Apparently they’re taken from this DVD collection. Now, I’ve bought quite a few reggae DVDs over the years, but this one was, until now, below my radar. Enjoy!
Here’s a sneak peek at what we look like when we get all dressed up. (Final cut coming soon!)
Remember, this handsome band is available for weddings, graduation parties, fundraisers, sweet sixteens — any occasion, really.
