The Profile

Y & T are a San Francisco Bay Area hard rock band formed in 1974 (originally Yesterday & Today), led by singer-guitarist Dave Meniketti. They earned acclaim in the early ’80s with melodic, heavy albums and the hit single Summertime Girls, and remain active as a touring act.

Classic-era lineup: Dave Meniketti (vocals, guitar), Joey Alves (guitar), Phil Kennemore (bass), Leonard Haze (drums). Known for high-energy live shows, blues-tinged vocals/guitar, and albums like Earthshaker, Black Tiger, and Mean Streak.

The reviews celebrate Y & T’s Bay Area hard rock: muscular riffs, big melodies, and Meniketti’s blues-steeped voice. A 2012 Bellagio show is praised for a powerful two-hour set packed with classics. In Rock We Trust gets a thumbs-up for melodic hard/hair metal highlights. Down for the Count is deemed enjoyable but uneven, aside from standouts like Summertime Girls. Overall: veteran energy, catchy hooks, and live authority.
