Catalano based out of Chicago, IL. formed in 2006. Vocals - Dean Pressley, Bass - Mike Myzyri, Drums - Sal Gatto, Guitar / Keys – Pat Catalano, Guitar - John Catalano. Catalano has always defied any clear genre-based classifications. To be honest, any labeling of their music wouldn’t do them justice. To put this myriad musical mixture under any label other than “unique” is to do so in vain. With influences ranging from bands such as Queensryche, Nightwish, Edguy and Metallica to Journey, The Who, The Beatles, and many others we just do not have time to list. Catalano refuses to place a label on anything the band does. With members having Local and National success with bands such as Gynger Lynn, Miss Crazy, The Dave Shankle Group and Pyper to name a few, The band formed after working on a few songs on Pat Catalano’s recent solo project “Only a Dream”. After recording sessions wrapped up they guys decided to get out and play as a band and never looked back. The band is currently writing and working on the debut Catalano CD and hitting the stage to bring their music to the people.
About "Only a Dream"
After few years of just recording some ideas and music that did not fit with other projects I was involved with. I decided to go ahead and complete an album that is very diverse and has no limitations to genre. I never was one for limitations and my music reflects this. Back in 05 I wrote the song “Only a Dream” as my first attempt at an instrumental piece. I later that year recorded the song at Lost Not Found Studios. My good friend Herb was putting his studio together when he asked me to come by and do some test recording. After doing some demo tracks of the song Herb shortly passed away from cancer. The version you will hear on the disc is “as is” the way he and I recorded the song. I have left it on the CD in honor of him and yes while it is not polished, mixed well and the drum tracks are a drum machine. I am happy to release it the way it is. Please enjoy the music. There will be much more to come.
