About me:

I play with Jesu, splitting drumming duties with Ted Parsons. I was the drummer on the Fall 2007 US/Canada tour as well as the December 2007 tour of Europe. It was awesome for me to play with Justin, Dave, and Diarmuid. In addition, it was a blast touring with Sunn, Wolves in the Throne Room, Torche, Oxbow, These Arms are Snakes, and Fear Falls Burning. Simply incredible.

At home in Seattle, I've played drums in Black Noise Cannon. I've also played in nov23 with e.Greenwalt of Black Noise Cannon.

I also work with Richard Webb in his band, Richard Webb and Friends.

I've got a solo thing called Forget the Sun. Please check that out.

I briefly played in The Living Jarboe in 2005 - completing a tour of Europe in Fall 2005. The lineup featured Jarboe (formerly of Swans), Paz Lenchantin (also of A Perfect Circle), and Mike Rollins.

I have also done session work with Trey Gunn (recording), Fear of Dolls (shows and recordings) and C'est la Mort (shows), and many others.

I do photography and some graphic design. Show posters, CD/LP packaging, business cards, stickers, ... you name it. If you're in Seattle, then you've definitely seen my work around town. Works in other towns worldwide coming soon. Please have a look at my design portfolio. I am the proprietor of Petrocelli Designs, LLC. Please check it out. New works going up all the time.

I do keep a blog at: Owe yourself, but no one else. It's mostly a compilation of links and discussions that interest me. Apologies for it being perpetually out of date. The links and discussions themselves have some staying power, IMO, so please do have a look at the posts, regardless of the publish dates.

I am also the proprietor of soultheft records.

Upcoming shows/recordings:

Phil Petrocelli photography show
The Hopvine Pub, Seattle WA - June 2009.
Opening Meet & Greet - Thursday, June 4, 6pm-9pm

Promo/album photo work for Eagle Twin (Southern Lord).

Promo/album photo work forThe Accused (Southern Lord).

Ongoing work with Jesu and Greymachine.

Collaboration with Fear Falls Burning.
RECORDING THIS RIGHT NOW! (Apr 2009)

Drumming on the new Transitional album.
RECORDING THIS RIGHT NOW! (Apr 2009)

BUY records that I play on (via iTunes).

BUY records that I play on (via CD Baby).

Who I'd like to meet:

Not so much "meet" as "meat".

People who understand that Tommy Aldridge is one of the most important drummers in rock.

It's come to my attention that this guy is claiming to be the vocalist in your band. Please don't feed his delusions. A guy who runs out of breath this much could never be TRUE metal.

People who go on letter-writing campaigns. It's awesome.

But wait - he takes a solo.

    How is it going Phil?  I just wanted to stop by and say hello.  It sounds like everything is going good with you.  I am now drumming in my new band called VOW.  Check them out at www.myspace.com/vowmusic.  I am still doing my own music project called STONE IMAGE, but I wanted to do something a little different and more aggressive.  Thanks for your support and I hope to meet up with you again.

    Oh Phil, your announcement was absolutely true. "Stomach Of The Sun" is so massive that I had to take a break after Side A. Tonight I'm going to continue ...

    Best wishes,

    Nah dude - I think it may have gotten too expensive for those guys to fly me out, etc. Oh well. How'd it go? I guess I'll be seeing them here in Sept. w/ Pelican, etc. I also get to see the Rorschach reunion gig!! Also, my old (no longer) crusty buddy Mid (ex Deviated Instinct) is visiting NYC in Sept. STOKED! When will you be gracing our shores brother? Would be great to hang.

    The Hopvine show looks to be good--I'll definitely come check it out! And Brooklyn too? That's awesome!
    As for me, just the usual--sewing a bit here and there to help keep me sane. I put up new pics in my "Sewing and General Craftiness" folder. Oly Repro is starting to wear on me--it might be getting time for something different.

    Nice photo work! Do I see Andy from Broken Press in there? I've just been doing the work thing and I recently discovered jogging, but that's about it. Trying to stay out of relationships with completely insane guys, you know...the usual.
    How's the drumming going? Anthing new on that front?
