Just Breathe.....

About Me

Hey people, my name is Gary Trovato and I'm a Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist. From 2001-2007 I was fortunate enough to front the band SUPERCHARGER(www.myspace.com/superchargerau). I have also written and recorded songs for TV shows, TV commercials, Films and various other projects. To top it all off, I have been known to play in an 80's metal party band known as "Skin".
As of November 2007, SUPERCHARGER has disbanded, and so I am now hard at work on my first solo album entitled, "Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell". The album is a criticises religion and the irrational & murderous things that people do "in the name of God". "Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell" is designed to make you think about what you believe in and ask yourself whether those beliefs are based on cold hard concrete evidence or whether they are nothing more than fairly tales. I see religion as the biggest threat to civilisation as we know it because people are too afraid to criticise both the preposterous claims that organised religions make about the world and the unjust and immoral acts that are committed by people because of their religious beliefs.
I challenge YOU to listen to my album, "Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell" and be one of the rare people on this planet to accept reality and reject the brainwashing doctrines of religion. Regardless of what you believe, this album will NOT leave you unchanged!
"Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell" will be released in February 2008 and I will embarking on a solo tour (with my backing band, "Skin") in support of the album beginning in March 2008. Hope to see you at one of the shows.
Please visit www/mp3.com.au/garytrovato and www.myspace.com/garytrovato to download my tunes. My music is yours to enjoy. Please spread the word and tell your friends about me.
Above is a video clip of an unreleased Supercharger song, "Separate". This video was recorded live at the Hi Fi Bar in July 2006.

"A Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris - exposes the stupdity of Religion and asks religious fruitloops to wake up to themsleves and stop selling pre-packaged beliefs to forward a more sinister agenda. In other words - a book explaining how religion is total bullshit!!!

Another excellent book by Sam Harris
