A Few Askew: a highly successful local band from Willoughby, Ohio, USA, that combines a vast array of musical styles to create a unique and fresh sound. Having a noticable "metal" backround, it is plainly obvious even to the untrained ear to pluck influences of funk, salsa/merengue, jazz, and hip-hop from each and every song. The recent release of the full length,"Off the Beaten Path", has cemented A Few Askew as a legend in the underground Cleveland music scene. Manning the skins, you have Sir Allen Daher. In addition to being a master drummer, Sir Allen also stands as the current international archery and ax throwing champion as well as being the Chief Engineer at NASA's "Interplanetary EcoPod Agriculture Foundation". Dr. Joseph Petrich, Professor of Thermodynamics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has kindly offered his services on guitar in between his time feeding the minds of todays up-and-coming astro-physicists and designing wind powered aquaducts throughout central Africa. Lead vocalist, Tony Balante, who is currently recovering from a surgery in which he donated both of his kidneys to Haitian earthquake victims and is waiting to be fitted with two prosthetic kidneys that he developed in his laboratory, spend the majority of his time on humanitarian reconstruction missions in South and Central America and is solely responsible for building the first gravity powered crude oil extraction pumps in Chile, catapulting an historically fragile Chilean economy into one of the more profitable economies in the world. Bass player, Kevin Farley was discovered while on his paper route and perfected his craft while attending his court mandated twelve A.A. meetings a week and has recently turned his life around and is in school learning to be a chimney sweep. further band info can be found on facebook or myspace.
