Six Piece Nastee

Frank "7 Layer" Picarazzi / Band Leader, drums, vibraphone, vocals /
It's hard for a band to sound bad with a drummer that keeps it as tight and hits it as hard as 7 Layer. Frank is one of NYC's most versatile and sought after percussionists and vibraphonists, locking the bottom down for such bands as Fiasco, Caesar Pink, Circus, Josh Max's outfit, and his own Jazz Quartet.

Seth "Set-T" Miller / Lead Vox /
Set-T fronts 6 Piece Nastee with a vengeance, laying down everything from glass cracking falsetto jams to freestyle rhymes. Set-T helps to keep the covers tight and authentic even if that means sounding like an 8 year old Michael Jackson. From Prince to Philip Bailey to Shock-G and G.Love, Set-T keeps the crowd into the show, singing along, and buying the drinks. When he's not fronting 6 Piece Nastee, his day job keeps him pretty busy.

Chip "Captain Expando" Fenney / Tenor Saxophone, vocals /
When he's not co-fronting the horn party explosion that is Adios Pantalones, Captain Expando is thickening up the melodic portion of the Nastee. Give Chip a whammy pedal and 22 minutes and he'll give you the world. When he's locked in with Jonny B, it's nastier than Zan and Jana - these guys are the true Wonder Twins.

Colin "Big Daddy Fat Knut" Gentle / Guitar, vocals /
Few guitar players can deliver the shooka-shooka-shim of true funk like the Big Daddy. Colin delivers tasteful grooves - not the trademark overplaying obnoxious tube screaming solos of most cover outfits. Give the Big Daddy a James Brown tune to groove on and he'll keep the asses of the masses shakin' like bacon. Colin's main gig is in Sugarcoat, Boston's premier Jazz/Funk outfit, where he plays guitar. Prior to 6 Piece Nastee and Sugarcoat, Colin co-founded The Erl Shibe Five, a rock/fusion outfit from Connecticut that continues to defy description.

Jonny "Boy Wonder" Blazawski / Alto Saxophone, Flute, Vocals /
Jonny B is the Yin to Chip's Yang. Jon B staggers most composers and jazz heavies with his sight reading and vicious horn chops. Whether he's laying down high frequency alto hits or smooth funky flute sounds, the Boy Wonder keeps the energy high and the flavor sweet. Jon B is Chip's partner in crime, co-fronting Adios Pantalones when he's not getting' Nastee.

Dave "The Fatty" Fateman / bass, vocals /
The Fatty locks down the grooves along with 7 Layer, keeping chests vibrating, and booties shakin'. Fatty's bass chops are in his voice too - give him some Barry White or Issac Hayes and he'll keep the ladies cooin and callin. When he's not gettin' Nastee, The Fatty keeps the bottom end down for the Brit Pop sensation Fiasco, along with 7 Layer.

"Little Stevie" Morell / Saxophone, Keyboards/
When the Nastee needs to get even nastier for a private party, we call Little Stevie in for reinforcements. Stevie is a multi-talented, sensational musician, adding critical keyboards and another horn for larger gigs. We know, we know..."how can you have 7 pieces in the Six Piece Nastee??" Stevie has been involved in many siginficant Boston area original projects including Sugarcoat and ReVibe.
