The TarantinosNYC at Otto's Shrunken Head

The TarantinosNYC often is a featured band at Unsteady Freddie's Surf-Rock Shindig on the first Saturday of each month at Otto's Shrunken Head. Adapting the band name from film director Quentin Tarantino, the TarantinosNYC is a New York based instrumental quartet that plays surf rock and soundtrack-style music, most of which sounds like it originated from 1960s spy or spaghetti western filmsThe band is comprised of Tricia Tarantino on bass, Paul Tarantino on guitar, Brian Tarantino on keys and rhythm guitar, and Joey Tarantino on drums. The TarantinosNYC recorded a CD, 2009’s Super Sounds of the Cinema.

At Otto's tonight for Unsteady Freddie's 10th anniversary show, the TarantinosNYC once again revived an old sound with a fresh approach. On original songs and on covers, Paul's varied guitar work and Brian's keyboard intersected and blended solos to keep each song sounding different and engaging. The show was as much fun for the audience as it was for the musicians.

The TarantinosNYC's next Manhattan gig is as part of the Spaghetti Western Summit at Fontana's on July 3. In the meantime, visit the TarantinosNYC at www.tarantinosnyc.com.
