Over the next 13 years, the four-piece – Andy Chaves [vocals], Andrew Stravers [drums], Tanner Riccio [guitar] and Ryan Weddle [bass] – issued a steady stream of music, mostly independently, releasing six full-length albums, various EPs, acoustic sessions, and a live album. Throughout their acclaimed career, Katastro has amassed over 150 million total streams from fans worldwide, garnered media support from the likes of Alternative Press, SPIN, American Songwriter, Substream Magazine, Arizona Republic, and Phoenix New Times, had their song “Under My Tongue” featured in Netflix’s hit show Outer Banks, headlined national tours, supported Dirty Heads, Sublime With Rome, Iration, 311, and Pepper, graced various festival stages, and performed at halftime at a Phoenix Suns game during the NBA Finals. Following the tragic loss of their lead singer, Stravers and Weddle launched The Kamp Podcast in 2023, featuring stories about Andy, behind the scenes tales of life as musicians, the inside scoop on their music, and conversations with special guests.
Phoenix, Arizona based, Fayuca, is ReggaeRock / Latino band fronted by founding member, Gabo. Their sound shifts through genres while blending modern-reggae melodies with Latin percussion, tied seamlessly by razor guitar riffs and progressive rock breakdowns. Their music has been featured on MTV, Univision, FOX Sports and other popular TV networks. Fayuca’s instrumental, La Venganza was hand picked by movie director Robert Rodriguez to be used as the main title theme to El Rey Network’s original series, MATADOR. While finishing high school in Tolleson, Arizona, Gabo sparked an interest for writing music and forming a bilingual-rock band. Since their first album release in 2004, Fayuca has launched four studio albums, including Barrio Sideshow released on Fervor Records, which fueled an MTVu launch in 2013. Their songs promote Latino culture, good vibes, and self-identification. Touring insatiably between writing and recording music, Fayuca strives to inspire people around the world by spreading a message of courage, love, and empowerment.
