It’s been a while! We played several private parties in December, including an off-the-hook wedding (see below), and our members have been spending some time playing with other groups, including Brooklyn soul outfit the Del-Reys, the Bad Mouth Betties, ’80s band Weird Science, Funkestra, Air Horns, Dave Stagno, and more. But the Bandulos funk machine keeps on groovin’.

Join us this Friday, Jan. 21 for our triumphant return to good ol’ Rhythm & Brews in Dongan Hills!

Here’s the Facebook event >>

Rhythm & Brews
1674 Richmond Rd
Staten Island, NY 10306

We’ll be back at Big Nose Kate’s a month later, on Sunday, Feb. 20, the night before Presidents Day.

We’re starting to book parties, fundraisers and weddings for the spring and summer. Spread the word, and give us a holler if you want your party to be a funky good time.

Can I get a witness?

Love,
The Bandulos
Billy, Mike, Nicole, Rafael, Paul and John

PS: Have you been keeping up with our former guitarist and good friend Joe Crispiano’s exploits as a Dap-King (as in, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings)? Suffice it to say that over the past year Joe’s gotten some face time on every major late night talk show, toured across the US, Europe and Australia, and just the other day, the band opened for Prince at Madison Square Garden! We’re so proud

For Once In My Life, I want you to Stand By Me. Through Good Times Bad Times.

It might be Late in the Evening, but you’re Just What I Needed. Touch Me. Take a Piece of My Heart. I’ll give you All My Loving, because You Really Got a Hold On Me. I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.

If you say no, I Will Survive. I’ll Pick Up The Pieces, because These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ and I’ve got a Soulful Strut.

But if you say yes, we can go to my Love Shack and Stir It Up. Just Express Yourself. Shake Your Booty and Twist and Shout. Hop on my Love Rollercoaster.

Brown-Eyed Girl, I Want You Back. I Miss You — All Day and All of the Night.

Love,
The Bandulos
