Staten Island Invades Brooklyn! w/ Vinny Bunnicelli + Carl Gallagher & the Off-Track Bettors + Yeti + Tom Cintula & The Buffalo 24 @ The Way Station

Four Staten Island bands cross the Verrazano, and bring their brand of truth to Brooklyn’s Way Station.

8pm- Vinny Bunnicelli

Genre: Fingerstyle Guitar-pop/funk/indie

For fans of: Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour, Tommy Emmanuel, Don Ross

Vinny has performed with a variety of bands ranging from original music, cover bands, and doo-wop groups. Most recently he has been playing as a solo fingerstyle guitarist. Fingerstyle guitar is a unique style of playing that blends fingerpicking with percussion on the body of the guitar. It is often considered a “one man band” approach to music. Vinny’s repertoire includes catchy melodic original pieces along with arrangements of classic pop music such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and the Beatles.

9pm- Carl Gallagher & the Off-Track Bettors

Genre: Americana/Alt-Country

For fans of: The Band, The Felice Brothers, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker

Carl Gallagher & The Off-Track Bettors are a seven-piece band from Staten Island, NY. Founded by brothers Carl and Dan Gallagher (also of Wahoo Skiffle Crazies, The Headlocks, Heavy Weather) the OTB’s like to call their sound Apocalyptic Americana. Whiskey-soaked, slightly paranoid, original country-blues-rock-&-roll; buy them a round and they might even play requests. Maybe...

10pm- Yeti

Genre: Indie-rock / dream-punk

For fans of: Sleater-Kinney, The Cranberries, Fugazi

Yeti is bass-driven philosophical dream-punk with cute killer harmonies. This New York-based trio reeks of feral femininity, fermenting in the forgotten woods of Staten Island. Their music fuses Sleater-Kinney sensibilities with The Cranberries’ emotional power. Yeti can be found playing at various venues throughout the New York City area, or in very cold, dark, remote caverns from which few have ever returned.
