If you are needing a little Bacci fix... The band is performing 3 exciting shows this week in the New York area!!! Above, we found this old press reel lurking in our records made by our former fantastic booking agent JM Goot. We decided to post this for a blast from the past. Everything on it is true except the webpage was bought out by a company that tried to resell the website back to us for a price we weren't willing to buy it back from them for. Lesson learned... repurchase your pages every time they are due for repurchase!!! You can now go to our current webpage:
www.thebacciband.com where you will find all you need to know about the band and more!
This Wednesday March 30th...the band is taking the stage at The Royalton Hotel to close out what has been a truly enjoyable residency for the month of March. The band will be back and at it in April every Thursday from 6-8pm rocking the Royalton Hotel so be sure to come and experience what the 44 Live music series has to offer! http://newyork.going.com/event-928752;44_Live_Music_Series_Bacci

Royalton, Dinosaur, Old Bay + Paddy's Day= Party Week!!!
Bacci to rock Old Bay on Saturday in New Brunswick... One of our favorite bars to play in all of New Jersey, The Old Bay has been in our calendar frequently for the past couple of years.
A little info on the place:
Has absolutely nothing to do with the seasoning that rocks any type of meat and helps bloody mary's do their job on hangover mornings. We assume it's name is N'awlins based... duh...
The Old Bay Restaurant is New Jersey's premier New Orleans-style restaurant. Their dinner menu features gourmet French Creole and Cajun cuisine, steaks and seafood. Their award-winning draft beer list features 22 taps pouring the finest micro-brewed imported domestic beer you can find. Enjoy a drink from their full bar - from the Hurricane to the Mint Julep, The Old Bay has got a Specialty Drink for you.
After 10pm, The Old Bay transforms itself into a sophisticated night spot with outrageous drink promotions and the best live entertainment in central New Jersey. We have multiple festivals, events and specials with tons of food, entertainment and fun. (Insert Bacci plug here- woot)
They currently occupy the former National Bank of New Jersey in New Brunswick which was constructed in 1857. The interior design of the restaurant was a result of numerous trips to New Orleans, and countless hours of conceptual, layout, and architectural work. In 2004, the interior of The Old Bay was completely renovated with additional bar seating and a decor that reminds one of Mardi Gras!

This Wednesday at The Royalton from 5-8pm
Ramping up for another week at the Royalton.... Spread the word about the band rocking out here on Wednesdays in March!!! We are looking forward to carrying out the month at one of the hottest spots in Manhattan.
Definitely a great date spot... A friend of the band came a few weeks ago with a girl he had been seeing after work, they stayed the entire night and had an amazing experience. Food, off the chain, drinks, fresh and flowing, and of course the live music... provided by BACCI!!!!
My boy Ricky Sixx approves... just admire how inviting his gaze is....
Bacci just ripped like 4 new tunes out this past weekend and they were a hit!!! Royalton will definitely have the honor of hearing what we have to say his week...
Wut!!!!

Mardi Gras success!!!
Above is a little snippet from the band recreating the picture that showed up in the Insider Magazine for Saturdays show...
Bacci had a FANtastic showing the entire weekend this past weekend for the Dinosaur BBQ, Easy and Williamsport shows!
New tunes, drinks, the whole nine yards...
The two brand new songs, Never a Devil May Care (which is about people taking themselves too seriously) and So Vague (about a guy feeling like he can't give a girl what she wants because he later finds out she doesn't like guys) were smash hits with the crowds all weekend. With Never A Devil May Care, there are interactive shout choruses like call and response from Bacci to the crowd. "You Clap You Clap", ' we keep playing' "We Sing We Sing" 'you sing back' "you Shout you Shout" etc....
Beads were also all over the place the whole weekend... I had to pick a few out of my suitcase....
Here's a snapshot of the actual article from the Insider...

Bacci at Royalton Hotel New York City 44 Live Music Series
Bacci is performing every Wednesday in March at the sheik, posh Midtown East hotel bar, Forty Four. Since it's inception, the 44 Live Music series, led by the creative mind of James Kinney (performer, marketer, actor) has been bringing us nothing but true artists ranging from artists like Anna Rose to Norah Jones' opener Sasha Dobson. www.sashadobson.com
What makes Royalton 44 Live Music Series the place to be?
First off, the staff is amazing....
Mixologists are making your drinks in the fashion of going to downtown speakeasy type bars like P.D.T. (Please Don't Tell) and Brooklyn hub The Richardson. Both P.D.T. and the The Richardson have their shtick of not putting their sign up so it makes the room a sought after joint, where most people WILL walk by it a few times before figuring out what it actually is. P.D.T. even goes a step further and puts a telephone booth out front, to where you have to walk in, pick up the phone and on the other end is the hostess whom will either tell you "you have the wrong number" or open the "wall" of the booth to let you in. (Actually is pretty neat if you've never been) The mixologists at Forty Four are shielded by see through fireplaces (i know, rite??) , couches in the 70's decor almost bringing you to the set of a Quentin Terrantino film, and 2 enormous automatic doors that open automatically upon arrival giving you the feeling "we've been expecting you" a la some old James Bond film.
What is a mixologist exactly???
Well, that's up for debate.... Amateurs would call them glorified bartenders, pros would say "amazing drinks but I deserve a scotch" and the rest of the public is looking to them in awe after tasting their perfectly crafted drinks, going from a simple gin and tonic all the way to a step by step drink involving aged Jamaican rum, fresh squeezed organic lemon and orange juice with house made grenadine, shaken, and served up with a dusting of nutmeg. (If your mouth just watered, the drink is called a Stone Place) These guys even craft the type of ice cubes you have to use for certain masterpiece cocktails... Gotta love that... I would just as much use cubes from a bag of ice bought from a gas station for every drink, but these guys have a plan!
The important ingredient to the whole mix.....
BACCI (of course) ....
This place brings the band back to the beginnings... where it all started.... Lola Bistro Rochester, NY. Lola had the "je ne sais quoi" of Rochester, bringing that classy New York vibe that places like Balthazar and Pastis were emanating in NYC, well before the restaurants "premier jour"... Bacci found Lola in Rochester when drummer Paul Amorese accompanied the owner Johnny D on a late night walk through as it was being gutted. The place used to be a greek restaurant and John thought it had some potential so he bought it out (not to mention it was connected to his, at that time, most successful bar Oxfords on Monroe Ave.) Once the place went up, Amorese, pitched the idea of having a photo shoot for Bacci's debut album "Hey Girl" in the way back of the place to give the album a swanky, players club vibe. Soon after the album released, Bacci, brought a copy to John through friend/rapper/painter Greg Impelletier whom at the time was painting Johns house, and John decided to give the group a shot on Friday nights. One Friday turned to 2 which turned to every Friday for a year. There were people crunching up against each other to get in every week....
TODAY, Bacci is in a reminiscent situation. 8 years after the "glory days" of Lola, the band is in New York City performing several different "off the beaten path" venues acquiring fans at every turn. The band thrives on the "players only" scene, where you can have a martini, talk to a lovely lady and listen to some great music that isn't just straight jazz (which is what you usually get in a martini bar). The 44 Live Music series is Bacci's new Lola.
Come down and see what all the fuss is about this month.
