It is Pete Antunes - it is Tower of Power!!!

There are a few bands that truly changed me. Queen was one of them — I was eight years old, listening to Spread Your Little Wings whenever I’d had a rough day. Then The Righteous and the Wicked whenever I wanted to feel Hot and Chili Funky. You’re Like a Doll Knife when I was filled with anger about… well, anything (and wow, that happened a lot during puberty). Cannonball Adderley when I felt a little jazzy — and of course, for all the funky and groovy times: Tower of Power. One of my absolute favorite bands including there GROOVES!

Some time ago, the news spread that David Garibaldi would no longer be playing with TOP and that his successor would be Pete Antunes. When I saw that the band would be coming to Cologne with Pete, it was clear: this dream had to come true. And what can I say — it did. For Pete, playing with Tower of Power; and for Alex (Vesper) and me, getting the chance to talk with him.

What followed was a wonderfully warm conversation about the challenge of playing on Jonathan Moffett’s drum set, how exhausting music theory can be, and why Tower of Power came along at exactly the right moment… even if Pete didn’t quite believe who was calling him at first.
