Anthony Dinallo's music career began playing bass guitar in a 4 piece alternative rock band in 1990. This band, Neptune Fields, had its own unique sound for 1990 standards.
Neptune Fields had a fushion of sounds by the likes of Joy Division, the Cure, the Smtihs and REM. At the ripe old age of 16, Anthony began to play shows in New York City. His first show was at the now defunct Electric Lounge on 42nd Street in New York City.
After the break up of Neptune Fields, Anthony found himself playing bass in a ska-funk-punk band known as 7minds. 7minds achieved a moderate level of success in the New York/New Jersey area. Their songs, Seaside Tony and Coffee, enjoyed airplay on radio stations
such as, 106.3 WHTG in Eatontown, NJ, 88.3 WSOU (Seton Hall radio) in Montclair and 103.5 FM in New Jersey and made CMJ's top 20 in 1998.
After 7minds, Anthony decided to put down the bass and pick up the 6 string guitar, take vocal lessons and sing. Anthony now fronts a band known as, The Wanting. In this band, Dinallo goes back to his roots playing songs that sound like we are back in 1990 when it all started for him.
The Wanting has been compared to The Cure, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and Love and Rockets amongst other early modern rock prioneers. They are currently working on a full length album and play shows in the New York/New Jersey area. You can listen to some of their songs at:
