Michael Angelo Vattima
Drummer
I was born just outside Philadelphia in Stratford, NJ. I grew up in Washington Township NJ. All I ever wanted to do was play drums. Everything I did in and out of school was music. Some of my early influences were: Rush, YES, Motown, Genesis, and Phil Collins. Later on, I really got into Hip-Hop and R&B. I love playing “in the pocket” you can play as many notes as you like but the pocket is where it’s at! Just ask Ricky Lawson! Now don’t get me wrong, chops and technique are equally important. Anyone that can utilize both of these tools musically would prove to be proficient in his or her craft! That said….I love the pocket. So in 1990, I set out to play with everyone I could. Along the way, I found myself in many inspirational situations and some not so inspiring. I have learned from all! I have played a few high-profile gigs like: Anita Sarawak in Malaysia, RCA recording artist Kristine W, Sparxx, Lorenzo Antonio, and Sunny Turner to name a few. The past few years have been spent close to home working with a variety of talent as well as cutting tracks in my house studio.
Denny Mishler
The Guitarist
Mishler grew up in the small town of McGill, NV. After more than 3 years of performing the local bar scene in Ely, NV (beginning at age 15), he recorded his first solo album, 2000’s Last Rain, while barely out of high school. His music subsequently received worldwide airplay, and the title track climbed to #3 on the Instrumental Rock charts.
Mishler continued to perform live with various bands all over Northern Nevada, winning awards and accolades for his guitar playing.
In late 2001, Mishler’s album caught the ear of the New York based band, Badwater. After accepting the offer to become their full-time guitarist, he relocated to the East coast. They recorded a full length LP (Rage & Ruin, 2002) and performed throughout New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Mishler decided to leave the project and head to Las Vegas to pursue other opportunities in music.
