About Me


Throughout the 90s Tony played lead guitar for some of Seattle's top local bands: Gypsy Rose, Fantazia, Way Far Gone and The Primal Order. (Fantazia and The Primal Order's demos are available on garageband.com). All four bands had a large dedicated following, airplay on both regional and national radio stations, openened for a wide variety of national acts (Soundgarden, Alice N Chains, Yngwie Malmsteen and many others) as well as the interest of numerous major labels. In 1993 Tony was fortunate enough to be nominated as guitarist of the year by vote Seattle rock magazine The Rocket.
In the late 90s Tony began working on his industrial metal solo project Dr. Synister. Numerous Dr. Synister songs hit the top ten on garageband.com out of literally hundreds of thousands of bands. That project is currently on hold but you never know when the doctor will once again come out and play.
As of the fall of 2007 Tony has been playing lead guitar for the Seattle based melodic metal band Mechanism. He has also gained the honor of being rated in the top unsigned shredders of 2008 by the Hall of Shred. Check out Hall of Shred's Myspace below.
In the past year Mechanism has been lucky enough to be rated the number 1 band in myspace's top artists for the Metal, Progressive and Rock genres. Considering the level of talent around the Pacific Northwest they found this both suprising and flattering at the same time. Mechanism is currently working on pre-production for their next studio recording. Some of the recent material like Illuminati and Equinox are considerably more progressive and will definitely have great appeal to fans of intense lead guitar playing. Tony has been having a blast playing duel lead guitar with Ryan Renfield, the lead vocalist/guitarist of Mechanism and without question one of the best players Tony has had the privilege to play with. If you haven't checked out Mechanism you can find them in Tony's top friends.
