YACOVELLI

YACOVELLI is a "Nu York" Neo-Grunge & Punk band fronted by underground veteran Alex Yacovelli (Rich N Pretty, Not Your Queen's English). The new project is an alchemy of Alt Rock, Garage, Sleaze and sounds heard on the Bowery. No stranger to the suburban DIY garage studio, YACOVELLI’s music encapsulates a raw, indie rock drive and energy. A fixture of the New York scene since the “aughts,” he’s notched incredible milestones— including sharing the stage with Weezer at their legendary Madison Square Garden debut. His songwriting skills also earned him an Honorable Mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, alongside Meghan Trainor (Pop category). While studying voice at NYU, his Ultraviolet Live performance was praised by host and “original influencer" Perez Hilton. Live gigs have included: Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, Bowery Electric, Arlene’s Grocery, Bitter End, and 107.1 The Peak’s Pleasantville Music Festival.
