Joe's father, Carmine, is a professional studio guitarist and greatly influenced
Joe. Joe played drums in various bands until he hooked up with Carlos and
Max and began playing guitar again. His brutal rhythms which mesh so perfectly
with Jordan's make 40 Below Summer a unique musical experience.
Carlos Aguilar
Instrument: Drums (DW Drums)
Favorite Bands: Tool and Soundgarden
Favorite 40 Below Song: Falling Down
Carlos came to the U.S. from Peru when he was 15. Bored, friendless and unable
to speak English, he began beating some chopsticks on a sofa upon returning
from a Chinese restaurant. Yo....an epiphany! Music would be his life! And
so it has been. In perfect sync with his bandmates, Carlos is the baddest
drummer around!
Hector Graziani
Instrument: Bass (Musicman)
Favorite Bands: Pantera, Jane's Addiction, Led Zepplin, AHC, Incubus
Favorite 40 Below Song: Jonesin', Drown, Falling Down
Hector came to the U.S. 10 years ago from Puerto Rico. He has played for
Menudo, Non Point and various other bands. When 40 Below found Hector, they
knew they had struck gold! At last, the perfect bass player! |
