SI Band Invites Belmar Mayor to Rock

loveSI0807.jpgNot only are Staten Island and Belmar, NJ using their feud to fuel the publicity machine, but now bands are getting some ink over it as well! The Staten Island Advance reports that Joe Pecora, singer of the SI indie band Happy Anarchy, has invited the "guido-bashing Ken Pringle up from the Jersey Shore for a few drinks." Pecora wants the Belmar mayor to join in on a song or two with the band, as well -- though he's unsure if Pringle listens to rock or even plays an instrument. The written invitation he sent off to Pringle was wrapped in a t-shirt he made that reads: "I love Staten Island, So Go !@#$ Yourself!"

It's about time someone is standing up for Staten Island and showing everybody that we are part of society. People are people and it shouldn't matter where you are from!!! Don't be scared to like something different...it's time for people to be an idividual and stop jumping on the bandwagon. I made the leap of faith myself to move to SI and I don't regret it at all. I use to live in Brooklyn and moved to SI a year ago because the standard of living is actually affordable and feasible

BTW...I listened to Happy Anarchy's music and that is some amazing stuff. I don't know how I never heard of them before. I just downloaded their songs on itunes and Verizon V-Cast.


You can love S.I. and still admit that it's the Guido Capital of the Universe! I do!
