The Corrao Q

With the emergence of college and a course of events, The Corrao Q had loosened some ties. With the end of the high-school-rock-band experience, came the beginning of new individual journeys. Of course, music will always be written and played but unfortunately no longer under the name of which 60% of people can pronounce. From 2006 to the middle of 2009, was a time one will never forget because it was so formative.and also real fun.



Now, long overdue, an EP is finally coming together after some final mixing delays. We are sorry for not being there when things were slowing down. But soon, you'll have some songs you can enjoy long after the memories of having your hand stamped with a "Q" and the ringing ears of a live show have faded.



So, what is with the band name?



Joe, Steve, Sam, and original drummer, Simon, had a 7th grade science teacher, Chris Corrao. "Q" is derived from "quartet". That's the short story. (And the pronunciation is "corr-RAY-oh")



Here's a brief timeline:
