"Joantoni on his drums makes sure that the most delicate passages - which are lighter than air - and the sonic devastation passages, are all executed with physical perfection. Elements of latin flavor, sheer punk aggression and gritty hip-hop pulses are mixed and mastered within his abilities" ...GORDON RAPHAEL dixit.
My own band is SATELLITES. We have been together over 13 years and released 2 albums and 3 eps, and we have plenty of recorded songs to release. And more coming...

Joantoni, it was seriously cool to see you thumping skins at your own birthday gig party with Satellites, and nice to talk to you this evening too : )This was such a great night. I hope you have a lovely gig tomorrow eve. I've been out four nights in a row and if I'm not careful I'm going to look like an old lady, but will definitely see your band again, it's been ages since I've danced like that : ) x x x x
