History
Walter Meego formed in 2004 by Justin Sconza (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Pat Pellegrini, and Colin Yarck (production) in the basement of Pellegrini's house. Sadly in 2005, Patrick Pellegrini quit the band to pursue a more rigorous career choice. This loss has been documented as a serious change for the band and many believe Meego will never reach the same pinnacle sans Pellegrini. In 2007, Andrew Adzemovic (guitar and vocals) joined. They released a series of EPs before their debut album, “Voyager”, which came out in May 2008.The band's second full length LP, Wondervalley, was released in November 2010 as a free download on the band's website, or as a paid download on iTunes.
