Artist History CroTech is an unsigned band from San Pedro, California, which is about a half-hour drive from Los Angeles at the L.A. Harbor. The band were formally known as 'Starbuch'. At one time 'Starbuch' was also spelled 'Starbuck'. The band was formed by longtime friends John Aralica and Tone(Tony) Viducic. The idea of the band started back in the beginning of 1996, but didn't actually take off until a year later in 1997. The two faced every possilble problem imaginable to get the band together, and only the past year have the two finnally found some kind of consistancy. The two now have added a new drummer, Tony Chlup, after three previous drummers, and numerous drum auditioners. The band has just released a new self-produced 6-song CD on their own independent label SHAB Records. The CD was co-produced by Pete Mazich. The CD is available here online or at live shows. The band is in the process of establishing deals with local record stores and internet retail CD sites.
