Biography

Before Mötley Crüe, before RATT, even before there was a Metallica, Y&T became popular opening for headliners and cut their teeth on the band, as evidenced by the Mötley Crüe. Born in Oakland, California, Y&T are the own innovators of the hard rock sound. Whether performing to a festival crowd of fifty-thousand or in an intimate nightclub, Y&T's high-energy set and passionate performances still captivate legions of fans around the globe, proving Y&T's music timeless.

Originally formed as Yesterday and Today, the initial powerhouse quartet featuring Dave Meniketti (lead guitar/lead vocals), Phil Kennemore (bass), Leonard Haze (drums), and Joey Alves (rhythm guitar) tore through the 70s and 80s with their own brand of hard rock. After two 70s albums on London Records, they shortened their name to Y&T. Two more albums with Geffen Records marked an era of change with Jimmy DeGrasso (Alice Cooper, Suicidal Tendencies, Megadeth) on drums and Stef Burns (Alice Cooper, Berlin, Huey Lewis) on guitar.

Discography and Legacy

With a discography of 18 albums, three greatest hits collections, plus a boxed set, Y&T's most recent single "I’m Coming Home" has climbed to roughly 1.5 million views on YouTube. "I’ll Stop Runnin'" and "Summertime Girls" played in heavy rotation on MTV. Y&T's hits are still played on VH1 Classic and classic rock radio stations worldwide.

With the passing of Kennemore, Haze, and Alves, it's Meniketti who carries on the legacy that is Y&T's five-decade career, including all the hits and fan favorites. Prepare to have your face melted.
