  • Bio

    The Bandulos are a funky, tight-knit group of versatile young musicians from Staten Island’s South Shore. Described by the Staten Island Advance as “one of the hardest, most diverse working bands in local show biz,” the Bandulos have established themselves as an in-demand band, playing numerous community events, weddings, private functions, and regular bar and club gigs all over the Island as well as in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Upstate New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Hampshire. Our sets are made up of the best classic funk, soul, and rock’n’roll, along with hits from the ’80s, reggae jams, and even some hip-hop gems. Not content to be pigeon-holed as a cover band, however, the Bandulos are NYC’s only breakbeat band, playing heavy funk breaks and riffs for b-boy competitions and showcases, including a memorial event for the late b-boy legend Frosty Freeze, a member of the famous Rock Steady Crew, and several local events featuring members of the Fresh Style Rockers. The group also serves as a backing band for Milton Henry, the Jamaican-born veteran reggae and R&B singer who has recorded and performed with some of reggae’s biggest names, including Lee “Scratch” Perry and the Meditations. In the past, the band has also backed the Trinidadian pop duo 2NTRIGUE and local rappers Dan Bangz and Mike Krisp. Planning a wedding or other event? The Bandulos can provide music for every aspect of your event. We tailor our sets to fit each event, and we will work with you to accommodate your tastes, preferences and special requests. If you want a band that’s memorable and different from the rest, we’re a great choice.
