Biografía

There are at least two bands by the name of Sparta. 1. Sparta is an alternative rock/post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, formed in 2001. Founders Jim Ward (vocals/guitars), Paul Hinojos (bassist/guitarist), and Tony Hajjar (drummer) were former members of At the Drive-In. Releases: Threes (2006) On March 9, 2006, by way of their official website, Sparta announced a new album, entitled Threes. The album was released on October 24, 2006. The band began headlining a tour in early October 2006 (after shows at Los Angeles' Viper Room and Troubadour, as well as Chicago's Lollapalooza) touring with Sound Team, Lola Ray, and As Tall As Lions at various venues throughout the United States and Canada. Two days before the release, the entire album was available for streaming on their MySpace. Eme Nakia (2006) In conjunction with the album Threes, Sparta is also releasing a 16-minute short film entitled "Eme Nakia". The film, the soundtrack for which is performed by Sparta, is about drummer Tony Hajjar's remarkable personal history, set during the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990. Hajjar fled at the age of five to the United States, settling in the sprawling west Texas border town of El Paso. When Hajjar was fourteen his "Eme" died after a bout with cancer and his father, who had been distant, left the family. His brother, only 18-years old at the time, assumed responsibility for the family and raised Tony and his sister. The film follows Hajjars early life story, showing his challenges and ending with him in present-day. The word "Eme" is Arabic for mother, and "Nakia" was the name of Tony's mother. Porcelain (2004) In August of 2004, the band released their much anticipated second album, Porcelain. Despite popular belief, none of the tracks are fueled by the loss of Jer
