PAX 217(band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PAX217 is a short-lived Christian Contemporary band from Orange County, California. The name comes from "Pax" which is Latin for "peace" and the Bible verse Ephesians 2:17. The band's style consists of a mix of punk rock and rap with some reggae influences. Pax217's lineup consisted of David Tosti on vocals, Jesse Craig on guitar, Josh Auer on bass and Joey Marchiano on drums. Former members include "Tito" on keyboards, Bobby "Bobbito the Chef" Duran as disc jockey, and David Tosti's younger brother Aaron "Skwid" Tosti on drums. The band began their run in 1999, and will be breaking up after two farewell concerts in December 2005.

[edit] Avner

Avner is the new band of most of the Pax217 boys. Avner sports Jesse Craig on guitar, Josh Auer on Bass, and Joey Marchiano on drums (all from Pax217). Avner also includes Todd Cooper on guitar and vocals. With the switch of vocalist, Avner has many immediately noticeable differences from Pax217: The pop/punk sound is a lot more clear, the rap is gone, and the obvious change of singer.
