Drummer and producer Tony Flagiello, aka "Tony Catastrophe", has been on the Philadelphia music scene for the last thirteen years. He made his presence known in the late 90's with the popular grass roots band Fathead. Since then, Tony has been one of the most sought after drummers/percussionists in the Philadelphia area. His skills cover a wide range of genre which allows him to perform just about any style of music you can think of. His desire to be in many projects gives him the variety and technique needed to achieve the experience in handling any task. His styles range between jazz, rock, Latin, funk, hip-hop, R&B, Reggae, live electronica as well as world music. He has recorded and performed with some of Philly's finest and most elite musicians such as: Jamaaladeen Tacuma (Ornette Coleman),Bernie Worrell, Ursula Rucker, Chuck Treece, Leonard Hubbard and Scratch (The Roots).Tony has shared stages with George Clinton, Maceo Parker, Iggy Pop, G-Love, Fishbone, NIN and Slipknot just to name a few.
As a music producer, Tony is creating tracks and licensing material for TV shows, commercials, movies and internet advertisements as well as producing bands of all styles. His knack for laying down a solid foundation on the drums sets the tone for the rest of work that goes into all of his music. Assisting Tony in the studio is Philadelphia Producer, Patrick Parker (of Modus Medium). Together they combine Tony’s sound with Patrick’s surround sound mixing skills, bringing the music to a whole new dimension
In addition to producing music, Tony is working with one of the greatest songwriters in Philadelphia, David Cope. With David's wide variety of retro rock and Tony's drumming, they have created an excellent writing team and a unique sound which has garnered a lot of attention in the Philadelphia area.
Tony as a Bandleader has launched himself into the realm of offering his services for social and corporate clients, including Weddings,Fundraising galas, product launches, Bar and Bat Mitzvah's, Sweet 16 Parties, Family Reunions, Pool Parties and more!
