Some of you may have witnessed Frank Bango & The Magic Fingers "Knock 'em Dead" at a live performance over the years. Well Now I'd like to have a different set of Magic Fingers help bring you back to life with THE TOUCHY/FEELY ALL PURPOSE PAMPER PACKAGE!!! When I'm feeling less than stupendulous I turn to my favorite Licensed Massage Therapist, Siobhan Towey L.M.T. http://www.nycmassageandhealing.com For a limited time Siobhan has offered to collaborate with Frank Bango & Richy Vesecky in hopes of creating a tranquil space to bring you and your frazzled nerves back into balance. You'll begin your oddessey with a a beautiful Sincere Recording Company mantra hand delivered in a sealed envelope from Frank Bango. During your session you'll be encouraged to focus on the lovely healing power of the sound as you invite the powerful syllables into your mind. Meanwhile, you'll be treated to soothing background music and Touchy/Feely instrumentals compiled/composed by Frank Bango (yours to keep after the session so you can remember your trip). After your 60 minute session (a combination of Swedish/Deep Tissue &Shiatsu) you'll be welcomed back into this dimension with a Frank Bango signature Juice. Combining Frank's favorite blend of natural elixirs (with a tablespoon or two of my favorite Spirulina to give it some BANG!! POW!!!!). This package is only available in NYC.

Have Soup with Richy And Frank At The B&H Dairy of 2nd Ave NYC. Let Richy and Frank recount some of their most colorful adventures culled from years of being outsiders on the inside more recently transformed into insiders on the outside. These two rascally scallywags arent't afraid to name names (and that goes double for twins). You'll not only come away with a full belly but a richer understanding of how they do that voodoo that they do so well. note: if you've been banned from the B&H Dairy, like so many others, adjustments can be made.

Connected as Frank Bango (756 friends)
For over a decade New York City-based singer and songwriter Frank Bango has been making some of the best and most original pop music that almost no one has ever heard.
"Bango's accessible, classic-sounding pop songs sound refreshingly familiar, almost as if they came out of another less frantic and noisy era. All of this is by design, since Bango and his longtime co-writer, Richy Vesecky, have always aimed for a kind of “Brill Building “ approach in their songs. Handling all steps of the process D.I.Y., from writing, producing, and recording to distribution and marketing, Bango has released four albums on his own Sincere Recordings imprint since 1994, I Set Myself on Fire Today, Fugitive Girls, The Unstudied Sea, and The Sweet Songs of Decay."
-All Music Guide
While Bango has consistently remained further under the radar than just about any other artist of his caliber, his albums are almost always hailed as hidden gems and undiscovered classics. His all too rare live performances never fail in gaining him adoring new fans. Comparisons are often drawn between his intelligent, timeless pop songs and those written by Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and Ray Davies.
Really looking forward to hearing this!
Ah, great ... you know, "Candy Bar Killer" came up on the iPod just last night (sandwiched between Iggy Pop/Kate Pierson's "Candy" and Wilco's "Candy Floss") and it made me think I should check in and see how you guys were getting on. Thanks for the update! Keep it up!
