about
In late 2003, four gentlemen met in the basement of John Mendola (of Hewhocorrupts) to form Gun Kata. Their music is, first and foremost, the product of Dean Costello. Dean's contorted guitar riffs provide the blueprint for the delirium. Dean isn't afraid to tell you he enjoys The Smiths and The Deftones, but you would never know it listening to him play, err...shred. Enter, the aforementioned, Mr. John Mendola who insists that drum triggers are lame and he would never use them, but likes the way they sound anyway. His pummeling rhythms are a thunderous counterpart to Dean's menacingly disorienting guitar. Bassist, Eugene Marino (of Friel) has got the edge on most. His playing is a perfect compliment to the fracas; putting forth a low-end that Jimmy Bain would be proud of. Finally, Toney Vast-Binder (of 7000 Dying Rats) can scream, sputter and moan with the best of them. He can't, however, make any promises that he won't spill his margarita on your Ozzfest t-shirt. Gun Kata has recently recorded five songs for a new release available sometime, somewhere. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
