Artist History Ted Altemus, Jesse Boley, and Zack Ohren originally formed Altemus back in Fall 1980. They started practicing soon after. Originally intended to be a metal band with a horn section (Jesse would play sax), as time went by they decided to ditch the horn section idea and stick to just guitar, bass, and drums. So Jesse switched to bass guitar and vocals, while Ted played lead guitar and sang too, and Zack on drums. Then Zack switched to second guitar and Adam Elliott joined as the new drummer. They started playing endless sold out stadium shows, on the road 24/7. Due to numerous conflicts within the band, they broke up in 1989. But now, in 2000, Altemus is getting back together and reunite as the best band ever! They'll be ready for the reunion tour soon...
