Tony Moschetto: Profiles from the Quiet-D Illustrations

Tony Moschetto, 2011. By Travis Simpkins

     In his role as "The Tazz" on Quiet Desperation, Tony Moschetto expertly plays a stereotypical high energy,  loudmouth radio disc jockey in need of a tranquilizer. His inclination to inform musicians of their eligibility to win contests, while simultaneously putting them down is matched by his propensity to discuss oral favors, snort adderall and drop the radio station call letters in every other sentence. Tony brings a lot of energy and finesse to the part by way of his fine acting and comedic abilities.
