Video: Live at the Beer Garden

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!

Weird Science

Billy — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:56:19 +0000

“The only 1980s-themed band that makes every party awesome…TO THE MAX.”

Weird Science is a Staten Island-based band that plays the best of Prince, Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Duran Duran, Madonna, George Michael, Men at Work, Toto, INXS, and lots more.

The band traces its roots back to the fall of 2008, when they performed as the house band for the Cargo Cafe 1984 Prom party. They played the Cargo Prom again in 2009, tastefully billed as the Bathroom Stall Babies, and soon after began playing more regular gigs at local bars.

The lineup changed from gig to gig, members of the Bandulos and Man Down floated in and out, but the constants have been John Lynch and Billy Levay. The current lineup also includes Adam Hecht (guitar), Kevin Jensen (drums), Tina Kenny (keys, vox), and Anne Marie Nacchio (vox). Tina and Anne Marie also perform with the Bandulos’ own Nicole Pignatelli as the Bad Mouth Betties.

You can catch Weird Science at Rhythm & Brews on Friday, March 5.

Here’s a video shot and edited by Steve Corn:

Sock it to me:“Respect” live at the Richmond County Fair

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.

Holiday party timelapse

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 Friday, Feb. 19 at Rhythm & Brews

Sorry for the short notice, but we’re filling in last-minute for another band that had to cancel. Your favorite classic funk, soul, rock, disco and reggae, plus cheap drinks, beer pong, and faux-brick walls! It’s going to be fun. Plus, our talented friend John Lynch will be sitting in on guitar alongside our own Joe Crispiano, so we’ll be stretching out a bit and having some fun with the tunes. Hope you can make it!
