SANTAGATA

About Me


SANTAGATA is the new band featuring former A Breed Apart frontman Andrew Santagata, bassist Ed Temple (also a onetime live guitarist for SANTAGATA in 2007) and drummer Kurtis Bento.
In just less than one year this band has landed all 4 tracks from their debut ep, 'A Fire Inside', on various compilations from Versailles Records which are nationally distributed by MVD Entertainment Group.
SANTAGATA is a band with a sound that is distinct, fresh and blistering with energy, the band is set in 2010 to grab people by the throat with a sprit and attitude that will cause a rock revolution. A strong melodic sensibility mixed with a swaggering rock attitude makes SANTAGATA the band to watch out for in 2010.
In previous years SANTAGATA has has played the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA with Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath w/ Dio), Alice Cooper, Queensryche, Shadows Fall, Bumblefoot (Current Guns N Roses guitarist), Evans Blue and Godhead at Locobazooka 2007!! (See video below)
