Tempe, Arizona based, Katastro was formed in 2007 by vocalist, Andy Chaves, drummer, Andrew Stravers and guitarist, Tanner Riccio. Later on, bassist Ryan Weddle joined the band to complete the current line up. The band gained notoriety by creatively blending elements of rock, funk, blues and hip hop.
Katastro gained a quick following, entering the national touring circuit and sharing the stage with bands like 311, Awolnation, Dirty Heads, New Politics, Sublime w Rome, Cage the Elephant, Pepper, and Rebeltuion. The road has been a friend to the band as they have headlined three separate tours across the United States in support of their latest album, “Strange Nights” which was produced by Mike Sutherland and Kaleo Wassman from the band, Pepper. The album also features Jared Watson, from Dirty Heads on the track, “Waste the Night”.

In addition to their festival and tour schedule, Katastro will release the music video for, “Alone” on August 7th from their first acoustic album, “Bones” which will be released on August 11th by Law Records.
