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.
Back in Nov. 2009 we played a stripped-down, low-key set for a book release party held at NYC Arts Cypher and hosted by our friend ON 2 of Fresh Style Rockers. The book is titled Graffiti New York, and it’s available at Amazon.com, among other places.
Legendary graffiti photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant were there, and Martha took a few shots of the band. We hope we can get our hands on them sometime soon. Here’s Martha’s blog post about the event.
The guys who put this book together are also behind the site @149st, and they thanked us in a blog post.
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.
Legendary b-boy Wayne “Frosty Freeze” Frost died yesterday, April 3rd. We never had the honor of meeting the man, but the Bandulos are proud to be playing at the benefit/tribute for Frosty on Friday April 11th.
Here’s a tribute that was posted on YouTube yesterday:
The AP obit is here, and the NYTimes obit is here.
