Pete Iacono + Musician in Campbelltown, NS

ABOUT

I cut my teeth in the legendary 80s and 90s Sydney live scene, and decades later, I’m still driving the beat with precision, groove, and absolute reliability. From tribute stages and corporate acts to recording sessions and original bands, I bring deep musical vocabulary and zero ego to every project.

Current Live Acts:

Blondie – In The Flesh Tribute: Capturing the raw punk-meets-pop energy of Debbie Harry and Blondie’s timeless catalog.

Skylark: A tight, high-energy five-piece delivering a killer mix of rock and pop anthems from the 70s to the 2000s.

Fundamentals – Mental as Anything Show: Celebrating one of Australia’s most beloved bands with authentic energy.

Career Highlights & Recording Credits:

Session Work: Tracked drums for The Wiggles in the late 90s, recording on their iconic first Christmas album and movie soundtrack. Two Albums and EP's with Sydney bands, The Smart Folk and Nagillum.

Touring & Live: Spent the mid-80s touring Queensland in a high-octane Elvis production; later anchored acts like The Rock and Soul Review and Wild on Woodstock, sharing the stage with the late, great Phil Emmanuel.

Deep Roots: Decades of experience across the 50s–80s cover circuit, original projects, and premium tribute shows.

Past Projects Include: The Smart Folk, The Shades, The Rockin’ Rebels, Katherine Vavahea, Finger Guns, The Mustard Club.
