The BlackTails met in Spy College where they passed time listening to Miles Davis and Steve Ray Vaughan, watching Semper Occultus M16-007 films and reading IX Century Spy Novels. With the intention to tour the world and do espionage they created a Spy Band ®. They accomplished strenuous missions while rockin' every joint. They became a world class act. The BlackTails can jam, jazz, rock, and spy with swiftness, celerity and gusto. They could be in your area right now, be on the lookout.
Peter "Fox" Farrell - Keys-Hammond XK-3c Organ-Accordion-Vocals
From Puerto Rico via Tokyo and NY Peter nails the Philly sound!!!
Derek "El Gretcho" Landel - Drums
Berklee College of Music drummer extraordinaire!!!
Hailing from the great state of NJ, home of great spies like Kalixto Lanza and Uber Niber, Derek graduated from Syracuse University where he founded the band "Professor Spy Spoon" which won the 1993 Spy SAMMY Award for Best College Band. He leads a double life as a drummer spy and father.
"Fender" Fredi Meli - Fender Bass, 5 String and Double Bass
Berklee College of Music Mr Bass awesomeness!!!
Swiss national Fredi Meli spent many of his formative years writing and touring throughout Europe posing as a musician before he came to the US to study at Berklee College where he built his American roots performing and learning his first Spy skills. Over the years his work has been featured on TV, in Off Off Broadway productions and he is a regular at top session gigs in NYC and shady bars, a mole that burrows deeper than any bass.
Frank "Rayo" Romeo - Electric guitar
Mr Epic guitar player amazing genius!!!
The only real musician in the band. Classically and “scene” trained throughout the country in the 1970’s through the present day, Frank Romeo presents a mix of Fusion, Jazz, Blues, Rock and Classical threads which meander through his original playing tapestry. Having played with Percy Jones and studied with Rolando Blain, Bill Connors, Wayne Krantz and Manuel Barrueco, Romeo has been able to fuse his style with that of the BlackTails, making a musical mixologist’s dream a fantastic reality. He is curiously effortless at slashing with his axe.
