Arcy Drive on Tour
Indie rock group Arcy Drive is made up of four close friends (Nick Mateyunas on vocals/rhythm guitar, Patrick Helrigel aka Helzi on bass/harmonica, Brooke Tuozzo on drums, and Austin Jones on lead guitar) from Long Island, New York. The quartet started playing music for fun and quickly gained a following with the help of TikTok.
After Tuozzo started the band's TikTok account on a whim, Arcy Drive's original videos began getting tens of thousands of views on the platform. They started playing their self-described "attic rock" music locally at live shows and house parties, and documented their restoration of a school bus into a tour bus, attracting fans across the country.
Mateyunas also studies at SUNY Maritime, and the band has been racing to record music before he ships out to complete his license.
