StOnYAtTi

About Me

Hailing from the heart of the 626 area code, StOnYAtTi (pronounced STONE-YAH-TEE), first gained fame as the fore fathers of the "spamband" movement of the early 21st century. 2008 marks the band's seventh anniversary, and they plan on invading new area codes, and sparking more magical musical mutations. They still swear that they will "someday" head into the studio to work on their long anticipated debut album, currently titled "Life Goals Change" (aka "StOnYAtTi: Greatest Hits Volume One").
