Artist History
------Andrews Bio------- Lead singer and guitarist, born 12-5-77 in Brooklyn, N.Y. Moved to Middletown in February, 1985. As a child music was Andrew's greatest fascination. In the summer of 1993 Andrew started playing bass to fill a slot in his older brother, Dan's ultra-heavy thrash driven group "Project Insanity". Andrew's brother, Dad and cousin, Anthony Buono helped Andrew along and he soon started gigging out with the band by late summer-early fall. Andrew was self-taught by instructional videos where he learned the technique of slap bass, basically learned the rest by ear. Due to different musical interests, Andrew and Dan disbanded. After many unsuccessful attempts, Andrew met drummer Stephen Hansen and formed a band called "Mother Funk" along with another guitarist and saxophonist. It was then, that Andrew started singing. When the band dispersed Andrew started "aisle*nine" with Stephen Hansen and his father Dan on guitar and it was at that time Andrew realized his love for singing. Recently, Andrew has switched from bass to guitar welcoming new bassist and long time friend, Anthony Ferrara. Andrew plans to attend Ramapo College in New Jersey in the fall of 2000 to major in Music Education in hopes to become a music teacher some day. (That's if the band doesn't make it first). -------Dan's Bio------Backup vocals, rhythm & lead guitarist, born and bred in Brooklyn, NY. Played the Brooklyn club circuit throughout the sixties. Married in 1969 and raised four children with his wife Jo and moved to Middletown in February 1985. Dusted off his Gibson in 1998 when his youngest son Andrew coaxed him out of musical retirement to become a member of aisle*nine. -------Stephens Bio--- Drums and percussion, born January 22, 1974 in Newburgh, NY. Shortly after buying his first drum set at age 16, Stephen came in contact with Alan & Rob Affuso (formerly of SkidRow). he continued to drum tech for both Alan and Rob for about three years. During his travels he had the opportunity to meet, work, and hang out with many famous musicians such as the members of SkidRow, Pantera, Steve Perry, Terry Bozzio, Metallica, Dave Abruzze, Michael Bolton, Van Halen, Def Lepard, Vince Neal, Bio Hazard, etc. Stephen is grateful for the experience he gained while assisting both Al and Rob. After unsuccessful attempts with previous bands, Stephen began looking for musicians that shared similar interests and goals. In 1997, he met up with Andrew and began to collaborate ideas. Soon after, aisle*nine was born. Stephen is psyched about the road that lies ahead for aisle*nine. |
