About Me

Dino P. Nicastro -- drummer from St. Louis, Missouri. The Imps, The Drew Johnson Band , and The Formula Kid are the main bands I've recorded and performed with for the last 12 years. In 1997, The Imps released "Innocence is Full of Pleasure" -- In 2003, The Drew Johnson Band released "Invention of the Wheel" and then after personnel changes and renaming of the group to, The Formula Kid, they released Posthumously, The Formula Kid.
