Sally Spicoli

Lead Vocals

Sally prides herself on capturing the audience's attention with an incredibly energetic stage presence that is the product of her 12 years as a performing vocalist. The fusion of her rhythmic body movement and unique vocal style is what sets her apart from the rest. From the first note, you will feel the power of what can only be described as 80s Pop meets Modern Rock -- cute yet edgy, raspy yet passionate. A prominent influence of the 80s radiates throughout her performance both in clothing style and attitude. Her favorite movies are classics from the 80s beginning with John Hughes flicks, "Some Kind of Wonderful," "The Breakfast Club," "Pretty in Pink." "Sixteen Candles," and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Of course, we can't leave out the infamous "Fast Times at Ridgemont High!" A total classic!

Jeff Spicoli

Keys, Vocals, Drums

Playing music--especially 80s music--has long been Jeff's passion. Just prior to The Spicolis, he spent two years as the keyboard player for Houston-based 80s cover band 80 PROOF. Before this, he mixed it up musically in a variety of ensembles around Texas, singing and playing bass and keyboard.

Although Jeff has been singing about as long as he can remember, it wasn't until 1999 that he began to take playing keyboard seriously. Around this time, he played keyboard in Beaumont-based jazz combo Blue Progression and funk band Homer and the Damn Horns. A few years later, in Houston, he put down the instruments for a while to sing bass/baritone in vocal ensemble Broke N Acapella. Then, in Dallas, he picked up the instruments once again to play bass and keyboard in original/cover band Jamattix.

Jeff has always loved the pop music of the 80s, and now believes he's found his calling as a musician, to keep this wonderful decade of music alive, and cannot think of a more fun way to do it than with The Spicolis!

 

George Spicoli

Guitar, Backing Vox

George has been playing for the better part of 25 years. He truly grew up on the 80's music scene with influences such as Van Halen, Poison, RATT, Duran Duran, The Go-Go's and many other great bands of that era. Iron Maiden and general Heavy Metal was George's forte for many years, and he played with several bands while in high school and college, then beyond. While "The Spicolis" is a band all about having a good time, George takes his music seriously. Playing in one of his two modes, "Collar Up" or "Collar Down," George can throw down on some tasty waves with Van Halen, then lay it low with some smooth Madonna... all in the blink of a guitar. Weapons of choice include the same axes used by Phil Collen of Def Leppard, Warren DeMartini of RATT and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi to Bruce Springsteen and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran.

Joe "The God Father" Spicoli

Founding  Beater

 

Dave Spicoli

Bass, Backing Vox

Before heading to Houston to jam with "The Spicolis" Dave spent several decades waxing his instrument and performing with many righteous bands in the greater "Bawston, Massachusetts" area. During those early years Dave honed his skills on the influences of Michael Anthony, Adam Clayton, Benjamin Orr and Joey Hamilton while traveling from show to show in a smoke filled VW bus. Then in 2000 this misplaced Yankee found himself on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon line and hopelessly wandering through Death Valley........er.. Houston....until meeting up with The Spicoli clan and embarking on a most excellent adventure. Like riding a tasty wave Dave enjoys playing bass guitars from Fender and G&L, Gallien-Kruger amps and Boss effects.

"There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball".

Tim Spicoli

Drums, Backing Vox 

Born and raised in Illinois , but residing for the last two decades in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin , Tim has migrated south to join the mighty Spicoli machine.  Known for his high energy drumming and personality, Tim has hit the skins for cover bands and original artists throughout his tenure in Wisconsin -- writing, recording, touring (and even doing a bit of singing!) along the way.  He has shared the stage with numerous regional and national acts (such as LA rockers “ Midnight to Twelve ” and classic rock icons “Head East”), developing a dynamic stage presence you won’t want to miss!

A child of the 80’s hair band scene, Tim grew up idolizing and drumming along to songs from Poison, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and his all-time favorite – Motley Crue.  Being a member of The Spicolis presents the ultimate match of Tim’s abilities, with the musical style and showmanship of rocking 80’s music!

“I've given this a lot of thought, and I don't want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything for a living. I don't want to buy anything sold or processed, or sell anything bought or processed, or process anything bought or sold or processed. . . or repair anything bought or sold or processed. I don't want to do that for a living." – Lloyd, Say Anything
