Pete Rots
Sal DeCicco - Drums
Dominick Di Lillo - Guitar, Vocals
Tommy Falanga - Guitar, Vocals
Jeff Mackay - Bass Guitar
Anthony Galati - Vocals
1983-1987 - Performed as Tempest with a four man lineup: This Brooklyn Heavy Metal band was earlier influenced by Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Kiss, Black Sabbath & AC/DC and later on by Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate & Metallica. Played the NYC area including Long Island, NY with many bands on the track to become metal legends although never had the success they feel they deserved. Appeared in fanzines from the US & Europe. Band members remain friends and only Jeff Mackay has remained on the metal/hard rock scene with other bands to this day. More info to follow.
2012- At a Special Surprise Birthday Jam for Sal D in May 2012, playing together lit a spark in the guys. Re-uniting for fun that day brought out an old friend, Anthony G, take on lead vocal duties, freeing up Dom D & Tommy F to concentrate on their guitars, joining in on background vocals for select tunes. Bassist Jeff Mackey re-joins for fun. Jeff has kept his bass & vocals sharp in various projects since. Most notably Machine, the Want & now Cold Fur.
From this one chance gathering of original and new Pete Rots was born.
