Biography:
diMazza is a Philadephia-based rock 'n roll band,
which was officially created in 2005 when its founder
Dave Juncos recorded a 3-song EP with Brian McTear at
Miner Street Studios, entitled Stargazers Rd EP.
In 2006 Juncos reunited with former Stellarscope bandmate,
James Snyder, to form a band that could perform the EP
tracks live. Adding another former bandmate, Mike Meyers,
on bass, they just needed a drummer to round out the lineup.
After several attempts they eventually settled with
Peter Trezzi, of Toronto, on drums. Trezzi had already
been impressing audiences with his drumming for local
artists like Sharon Little.
After forming, diMazza soon began playing shows
in and around Philadelphia, establishing
themselves as an original force to be reckoned with.
With comparisons to the Verve, Mojave 3, The Cure,
Jane's Addiction, diMazza places emphasis on making fresh
sounding music, that is new and not simply a throwback to
scenes of the past. Since forming, diMazza has been
interviewed in Passional Magazine, played on local radio
stations, WSTW, WXPN, City Paper's Local Podcast, WPRB,
WKDU, and were named Philly Local Pick of the Day
by Helen Leight, on WPXN for January 17, 2007. Not bad,
considering they've only been together for less than a year.
The Stargazers Rd EP is available for sale via the
Merchandise section. Includes the track
"Here's to a New Year,"
which features the
bass playing of Tim Celfo, who also plays
with Sharon Little, and Venemous, Hoots and Hellmouth,
among others.
diMazza does not mean anything, it just sounds good.
It can mean whatever you want it to.
