Sometimes the well-traveled road can provide fertile ground for an original path. That''s how founding members of Ready In 10 Sal Nastasi and Marc Viola describe their experience playing in Long Island''s abundant cover scene. "We learned so much about how to perform and connect with a crowd," says Nastasi,” and we were able to really fine tune our musicianship. But we were always closet songwriters."
Childhood friends Viola and Nastasi quickly bonded over their shared love of 90’s rock and tight vocal harmonies. They channeled these influences into a set of uplifting, melody driven pop-rock songs and began performing as an acoustic duo. Their strong songwriting and stage performance attracted the attention of local musicians Mike Elefante on bass, and Mike Moore on drums, and together they began honing the sound that would eventually become Ready In 10. The band snagged its name from a Chinese restaurant menu promising quick delivery, and that is exactly what Ready In 10 does. They deliver solid and hard hitting pop rock music with soaring guitars and throbbing rhythms lying comfortably beneath Sal’s distinctive voice, immediately becoming a part of your life’s backdrop like it’s been playing for years; a part of your growing up, dealing with work, love, and life.
Ready In 10 began playing for very large audiences early in game including an opening slot a sold-out Rusted Root performance only six months after the bands inception in January 2005. The band released its debut album, "Face the World", to coincide with a sold-out performance of their own at LiveTrax in Bellmore, New York in August of 2006. "Face the World" features songs of both epic scope and organic simplicity, from the thunderous power of “One Man Show”, to the whimsical wink of “Now I’ll Lay”, to the achingly beautiful “One More Chance.” The album quickly garnered the attention of the local press, and was named one of the ten best albums of the year by the nationally distributed Inside Connection magazine. The local airwaves soon followed suit, with the band finding a home in the regular rotation of college and internet radio stations, as well as the mainstream WMJC 94.3 FM in NY.
With a loyal grassroots following well in hand, Ready In 10 set out to tour the Northeastern United States, playing venues big and small from Virginia to New Hampshire, in front of an ever expanding fan base. Some notable shows include a residence during the summer of 2007 at The Nikon at Jones Beach Theater, where the boys played with some of the biggest names in the business including Fallout Boy, The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls and Long Island’s Nine Days. Lead singer Nastasi has performed the National Anthem at four New York Jet games, which led to the team calling on the band twice to pump up the crowd at NY Jets Pep Rallies during the 2009 season held at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC.
Ready In 10 has had as much success releasing their songs as an independent band can hope for. In 2007, their single “Green Eyed Girl” was featured in an online advertisement for Sony Ericsson. In February of 2009, the band learned that fan favorite “One More Chance” won 1st runner-up at the 5th annual International Acoustic Music Awards, which helped them gain an invitation to the prestigious Red Gorilla Music Festival in Austin, Texas. In early 2009 Ready In 10’s “Beside You” was picked up by music programming giant MUZAK. The song has been playing nationally in shopping malls, stores and restaurants throughout the US. Records show that “Beside You” was spun over 200,000 times in 2009 and continues to gain steam into 2010.
Always willing to make a difference, Ready In 10 has helped lend a hand to various causes and charities. In the summer or 2008 Ready In 10 gathered corporate sponsors and local Long Island businesses in an effort to raise funds for Ride for Life, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease. By selling CD’s and performing three concerts throughout the campaign the band raised thousands of dollars and will continue working with Ride for Life as they move toward finding a cure for ALS. More recently, Ready In 10 was a featured act in the 2009 Helping Hands Telethon held at Mohegan Sun Casino in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. The telethon, which raised well over $100,000 for their cause, was aired on FOX’s regional network and reached about 13million households state-wide.
When Ready In 10 is not out pounding the pavement across the region the foursome has been busy writing and recording new material in their studio in Babylon, NY. Their newest creation 31 Strong is set for release to the general public by Lot More Records on June 22, 2010. The highly anticipated album will include some already fan favorites like “See and Wait”, “Come Home”, and “Turn Your Red Light to Green”, which the band recorded live at a concert on Long Island in September of 2009.
Viola explains, “We are having fun, and we want our fans to sense that when we step on stage and on the new record. We are always excited to see our fans and how diverse they are, especially when it comes to their ages. We kind of feel like the everyman/woman band, and I think it’s because we play music that reflects the nuts and bolts of everyday life, not the pretend or fantasy stuff. We express how we deal with facing the world…and we play outstanding guitar riffs!”
