Formation

In the summer of 2007, Mark and Gavin found themselves bandless simultaneously. They had, over the years of knowing one another, sporadically yet passionately discussed the notion of forming a three piece rock band. After approaching Binzer, who the band themselves describe as "the Irish Jimmy Chamberlin". [http://www.myspace.com/concertoforconstantineofficial Concerto for Constantine Myspace (Sep. 28, 2007): About] , a rehearsal took place in August 2007 and the band was formed.The name of the band was initially created by Gavin looking through some song on iTunes. He selected the name 'Concerto' and Mark completed it using a name from a dream his mother had just a week previously. [Today With Pat Kenney 08-02-2008]
