“Snarling Rock 'n' Roll scraped from the New York City streets when Thunders & The Ramones ruled the roost.”

BLACK CATS NYC are a guitar driven Rock 'n’ Roll band, straight off the streets of New York City - Put your club clothes on, grab that someone special, and "Come Along for the Ride!”
Out of the ashes of a pre-gentrified lower east side come the BLACK CATS NYC. A guitar driven Rock 'n’ Roll band straight off the streets of New York City. This quartet performs with the vibe and style of Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers, the tongue-in-cheek power of AC/DC, and an I.V. full of Chuck Berry and Eddie Cochran on a constant drip. Taking it back to when cool was king and grit ruled the airwaves.
BLACK CATS NYC are:
Andrew Giordano Vocals/Rhythm Guitar: Born with rock 'n' roll in his blood, this self-taught musician has been composing and performing since he was a teenager. Rescuing him from rock 'n roll purgatory, Black Cats NYC has reignited Andrew's passion for music.
Francesco D'Ambrosio Lead Guitar: He is old school cool, bringing it raw & dirty. An accomplished guitarist in his native Italy, Francesco fortifies the double-barreled guitar attack and keeps the BLACK CATS NYC purring.
Stan Esposito II Bass: One cool cat that lives in the pocket. Top-shelf style along with A-1 chops, he lets his fingers do the talkin'. Stan is the anchor of the rhythm section and keeps the ladies dancing all night long.
Jason Reddish Drums: A fixture on the NYC music scene. An accomplished musician with a diverse musical background, from bebop to hard rock and everything in between. The backbone of the BLACK CATS NYC, Jason is a hide hitter that really gets down.
BLACK CATS NYC have a brand new single! Black Cats (Nothing's Gonna Stop Us) is the latest effort from the NYC quartet. Written as the band's theme song, it is loosely based on the iconic 1954 novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. This post-apocalyptic, hard hitting, rocker is sure to get everyone's blood pumping.
Black Cats (Nothing's Gonna Stop Us) was released worldwide October 28, 2022. It is streaming loud on your favorite service - including Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, & Tik Tok! The single is available for purchase direct at blackcatsnyc.com or at Amazon & iTunes.
Black Cats NYC were part of The Cramps Annual Sally Can't Dance at Bowery Electric NYC and sharing the bill with NP Presley at Buckley's on Long Island.
