Tony Crivello - Vocals, Guitar, Lead Guitar, everything else.
I’m flying solo for now until I can form a new band. My solo acoustic stuff is more rock than folk or pop. I have a defined style.

We formed a band called "Lower Level" in 1998 and played a lot of high school shows, local music shows, and various parties/festivals. Tony met Noah in grade school, and Noah's younger brother Jacob joined the band on bass. Brett Behrendt was our drummer for a few years, then we got a new drummer, Jason Daniels, who now is an acoustic singer/songwriter. In 2001, Jacob began filling in as our drummer, and soon progressed into a great player. We've been filling in the bass player role for awhile and recently, Rick Mamayek has been the man. We are looking for a solid bassist to hold down the rhythm with Jacob. We've played @ UW- La Crosse, UW-Milwaukee, and The Slinger Music festival 2 years in a row. We've been on hiatus while members attend college, but now we're ready to record a new demo and start playing some shows in Milwaukee and the surrounding area.
Noah has left the band to take his other band, Letter 8, on full-time. He will be a guest musician on a rare occasion, but Tony and Jacob will be the band for now. We are looking for a bassist that can sing backup, or just any solid bass player that we can plug into our line-up and rock. Look for more acoustic shows in the near future.
