It’s not unusual now for Bandaloni and his One Man Band to spend several months in any given year, touring in his ‘Van-aloni’ across the continent.

(Bandaloni: “I always thought the name was pretty obvious as a ‘band alone’ but with the ‘i’ thrown at the end to make the obvious more subtle but I’m still amazed at the people that don’t make the connection”) In 1999 to pay his respects, he made a pilgrimage of sorts to ‘The Great Farini’s’ gravesite in Port Hope, ON.

Built it, rehearsed a handful of songs and headed out on the long road to where he is now. He had been using it for many years as a beer cooler and was no drummer by any stretch. While living in Calgary, he constructed his first apparatus or ‘Rig’ as he likes to call it, out of a kick drum that was sitting on his back deck.
