Dinner and a Suit (IS ON TOUR)

About Me

Dinner and a Suit is a NJ based original alt rock band. It all started for cousins Jon Capeci and Joey Beretta with two matching Fender Squier guitars at age 11, coupled with many loud practices in the basement and countless orders of General Tso’s Chicken. Several years later, the band met producer Stephen McKnight of Thermal Studios, who produced and recorded their recent debut album “light and lungs.” Even though the band had not found their current beast of a drummer, Dave Hirshblond, they wanted to move forward in recording the album, so they called on noted session and touring drummer Kevin Soffera (Seether, Breaking Benjamin) to complete their studio recording. While recording, the band also lured eye-catching Anthony Genca into playing the bass to complete the line up. Branching from influences ranging from This Day & Age and Mark Kozelek to mute math and sleeping at last, this band has separated themselves from others through their unique sound and energetic live performance.
