TEEZE - THE TRUE STORY OF
PHILADELPHIA'S LEGENDARY GLAM METAL MANIACS
By Mick Baker
Our story begins with two guys, guitarist Gregg Malack and vocalist Luis Rivera, who went to the same high school together (North Penn) and were in rival rock bands, Lust and Telstar respectively. Even though both bands came from the same school (located about an hour north of Philadelphia), neither Malack or Rivera knew each other. While both bands played the same "cover" renditions of the latest Kiss, Rush, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and AC/DC songs (and crossed paths doing the same local club circuit), the two future band-mates were soon introduced to each other and discovered that they both possessed a burning desire to be in the hottest rock band in the area.
They soon joined forces and quickly decided on what direction this new band would take. They wanted it to appeal to the ladies first (for all of the obvious reasons) and they knew it had to rock hard for the guys. Most importantly, they wanted the "show" to be front and center, the one you talked about for weeks after. Those first gigs done at school dances, fire halls, grimy shot and beer taverns, etc., would be the informal announcement of a musical partnership that would last twenty five years. Luis would be the one to name it Teeze.
Teeze would endure all of the typical growing pains of any young band trying to find its identity and sound. A seemingly endless succession of guitarists, bassists and drummers would come and go during the group's formative, part-time years until 1980 and the arrival of bassist Dave Weakley. It soon became apparent with the addition of Weakley that the personality of the band was beginning to gel.
