For the past few years, drummer Tony Hajjar has lived the life every kid with a rock 'n' roll dream would die to have. Originally with At the Drive-In and now a member of Sparta (in a certain way a musical incarnation of At The Drive-In), Tony has toured the world, worked with musicians he's idolized and best of all been able to make a living off what he loves doing most.



On August 8, 2004 Tony Hajjar broke his wrist "during daily intramurals" with tourmates Incubus. With Hajjar under doctor's orders not to pick up his drumsticks for at least a week, Sparta was prepared to drop off the remaining dates. Fortunately, Incubus drummer Jose Pasillas and bassist Ben Kenney stepped in to share drumming duties until Hajjar could return or a temporary replacement was found.
