- JOE BENDIK
Cited as a “pioneer of NYC’s Anti Folk sound” by Alternative
Press, Bendik has been a LES fixture since the late 80’s. With
his rocking, multi-dimensional style, Bendik has redefined the singer
songwriter genre. You won’t see Joe sitting on a stool and moping
about his life. He’s not only Anti Folk, he’s Anti Emo. Bendik’s
lyrics usually focus on social observation with a Dylanesque sense of
the absurd often delivered with an Iggy Pop/Bob Marley type of energy.
