Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dave Meniketti grew up in Stockton, California, playing guitar and listening to Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Led Zeppelin. In 1974, he started the band Y&T with bassist Phil Kennemore and drummer Joey Alves. Their first album, "Earthshaker," came out in 1981, followed by records like "Mean Streak" and "In Rock We Trust."
Y&T's 1985 single "Summertime Girls" reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. The band broke up in 1991, and Meniketti began working on solo material. Songs like "It's Over," "No Lies," and "Take It Like A Man" came from this period.
Y&T got back together in 2001 for shows and an album called "Facemelter." They've kept playing since then, though the lineup has changed over time. Meniketti still writes and records, with tracks like "All In This Together" and "Hard As I Try" in his catalog.
