Who Is Cousin Fungus?

	Who's Who? The band is comprised of three brothers and a long-time childhood friend. The four talents merge together, sometimes seamlessly in a smooth groove, and other times explosively with friction and electricity. Either way, a Cousin Fungus show is always an unpredictable and exciting ride for the audience. The band's tone is remarkably wide for a four-piece, and its sound is unique and challenging to the listener, yet surprisingly accessible.
	Thomas Stanziale Bass Guitar / Vocals Thomas (Turbo) is the eldest of the three Stanziale brothers, and was the driving force in starting the band. Although Thomas held a lucrative position trading currency atop the World Trade Center, he could not deny his true focus was always on the music he made. It didn't take long before he devoted his efforts towards his brothers and the band. Thomas' creative energy permeates the band's original material, and his talents, both vocally and on the five-stringed bass, give the band an engine for boundless live exploration.
	Mike Sanchez Guitar / Vocals With his unique, percussive guitar style and subtle yet convincing vocals, Mike (Sanch) complements the other three band members perfectly. Whether lying solidly "in the pocket" or bouncing off the groove with odd-timed gestures, Mike's rhythm work helps the Cousin Fungus music machine achieve its well-rounded sound. And his spidery lead work adds an interesting texture to the mix.
	Henry Stanziale Guitar / Vocals As the youngest brother and bandmember, Henry (Hank) is the most free-spirited of the four players. Unafraid to challenge the rest of the band, he enjoys taking chances both on stage and in the studio. After just one show, anyone can see that Hank is channeling spirits from another plane, writhing back and forth in ecstasy as the music drives towards its climax. Adding to this frenzy a gritty third vocal harmony, Henry completes the equation for a truly awesome live musical experience.
	Christian Stanziale Drums / Percussion Chris (Bach) defies description. His unorthodox drumming style makes him an enigma to many players. Left-handed and right-footed, he pilots his custom kit through wild polyrhythms, contagious grooves and explosive fills. His unwavering work ethic makes him the most musically demanding member of the band. Born one year to the day after his older brother Thomas, Chris has an uncanny, almost psychic ability to telegraph his moves before they happen, making the rhythm section one of the tightest, most connected you'll ever see live.
