RIP Peppi Marchello
 

Won't mean much if you are not from LI or were not around during the 70's/80's.

Peppi was the singer for The Good Rats.

Often called the greatest rock n roll band you've never heard of.

They got real close to national fame but never quite made it but man were they the **** on LI.

Good Rats, Twisted Sister, Rat Race Choir, Zebra, Queensryche, was a great time period for the LI music scene.
