Video: Graffiti New York book release party

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.

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:

Another video after the jump.

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.”

Milton Henry & The Bandulos @ Van Duzer Summer Streets

Billy — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:22:39 +0000

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:

Here’s a photo gallery.

Video: Bandulos @ NYC Arts Cypher, Aug. 2008

Billy — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:27:10 +0000

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.

Jack Ruby Sound System

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!

The wedding band

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.
