Harrisburg, PA-based retro-rockabilly combo the Martini Brothers was formed in the spring of 1994 by singer/guitarist Deuce Gibb, bassist Mike Mead and drummer Chad Matson. The following year saw the release of the band's debut single "Up All Night," followed in 1997 by the full-length Portable; that October, however, Matson suffered a fatal drug overdose, and although Gibb and Mead originally opted to dissolve the Martini Brothers, they ultimately reformed the group with new drummer Rej Troup. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
