Artist History Played Nothern California area between 1974 and 1983. The whole group fell in and out of other bands for a few years and decided to re-unite for a one-time bash ... Scott wanted to pull a group together to finally put all of our music on tape in a studio ... do it right for old time sake. The CD "Where Do We Go From Here?" is a labor of our love and affection for music and our long time friendship. Tino's favorite expression, "This is our box of dreams." pretty much sums it up. We lost the stars in our eyes a long time ago so this music isn't about making the big time, its about us, our family's and caring for each other. ________________________________________Louie Making this album was a dream come true, a project I've wanted to do with my "musical family" for quite some time. It is dedicated to my late mother Hope, for without her this album never could have been made. Special thanks to my wife Debbie for putting up with "the whole thing" through the years; my father Karl for buying me my first guitar and supporting my efforts totally; to David "Whitey" Larsen, our great, dedicated Sound Man through the years; Tino who inspired me from the very beginning and was by my side through thick and thin, "my brother"; and last but not least, my musical buddies in the "Band/Non Band" ... Tino, Frankie, Leroy, Mario, Louie and Whitey. _____________________________________Scott

Press Reviews Westside Index (March 18,1999): Sneeky Pete traces its musical roots back to the rock-and-roll glory days when garage bands competed for gigs at local clubs and social events - often in hopes of some day hitting it big.In an era when musicians drifted from one band to the next, Sneeky Pete lasted a few short years - from 1977 to the early '80s, at best, its members reckon. While fame in the Hollywood sense never beckoned, the band developed a large local fan base and carved out a niche for itself on the area cover band circuit.
