Marco Maltese
LEAD SINGER
Nasce nel '80, cresce in anni di fermento musicale irripetibili, difficile restarne indifferenti. Iniziato alla musica dai Queen e dalla voce di Freddie Mercury, si dirige verso percorsi più duri passando dai tedeschi Scorpions, ai Whitesnake, da AC/DC a Skid Row e altri ancora. Sempre in continua retrospettiva si avvicina alla New wave dei Simple Minds, The Cure al pop degli INXS e all'elettronica dei Depeche Mode o ancora agli sperimentali Enigma. Inizia a esibirsi nei locali nel '94 e trascorre parecchi anni nell'underground musicale torinese. Nell'estate 2010 fonda i "Made in Eighties" band tributo agli anni 80 con cui calca tutti i più importanti palchi del Piemonte e della Lombardia con grande successo di pubblico. Forte dell'esperienza di palco accumulata e dalla passione per il punk-rocker inglese, nel 2017 fonda il progetto Rebel Idol.
Born in the 80s, grows up in years of unrepeatable musical ferment, when it was really difficult to stay indifferent to it. Initiated to music by Queen’s and their singer Freddie Mercury, he then heads to toughest styles from the German Scorpions, Whitesnake, AC / DC to Skid Row and over. Always in continuous backward-looking, he approaches from the New Wave of Simple Minds, The Cure to INXS pop and the electronics of Depeche Mode or the experimental Enigma. He began performing in clubs in '94 and spent several years in the Turin music underground. In the summer of 2010 he founded the "Made in Eighties" tribute band to the 80s with whom he treads the boards of all the major stages of Piedmont and Lombardy with great public success. Backed by the experience on stage and the passion for the English punk-rocker, in 2017 he founded the Rebel Idol project.

BASS GUITAR
Feticista delle corde spesse (ma qualcuno lo chiama anche bassista), classe 68, si trasferisce a Torino da Napoli nel 1997 su una Fiat Ritmo carica più di strumenti che di vestiti! Nel 1998 con i "Trait d’Union" vince il concorso musicale “Un Po’ in Musica”. Nel 1999 trova gli "Oltreconfine" (gruppo del Torinese specializzato nel “mesh-up”) dei quali ancora oggi fa parte. Da segnalare l’esperienza dal 2008 al 2011 nei "Laid Aid" (cover Live Aid del 1985). Nel 2015 inizia la collaborazione con i "Made in Eighties": il suo stile essenziale ma potente contribuisce a completare il percorso della band verso la lettura in chiave rock dei successi pop anni 80. Nel 2017 aderisce con entusiasmo al progetto Rebel Idol. Ama il basso elettrico anche come oggetto, e ne possiede una collezione: con gli "Oltreconfine" usa G&L Made in Usa 5 corde, con i "Made in Eighties" suona Steinberger XL2 4 corde del 1989, con Rebel Idol ha deciso di usare la stessa identica strumentazione di Steve Mc Grath : Fender Precision con elettronica EMG, Warwick Streamer Stage I 5 corde. Amplificazione Mark Bass.
Fetishist of the thick strings (but someone even calls him “bassist”!), born in '68, he moved to Turin from Naples in 1997 on a Fiat Ritmo charged more with musical instruments than with clothes! In 1998 with the "Trait d'Union" he won the "Un Po 'in Musica" bands contest. In 1999 he joined the "Oltreconfine" (one of the very few bands in Turin area specialized in "mesh-up") of which still today is part. The experience from 2008 to 2011 in the "Laid Aid" (covers from Live Aid gig of 1985) should be also mentioned. In 2015 he joined the "Made in Eighties": his essential but powerful style contributes to complete the band's path to the re-interpretation of the pop hits of the 80s in a “rock mode”. In 2017 he enthusiastically joins the Rebel Idol project. He loves the electric bass also as an object, and owns a collection: with the "Oltreconfine" he plays G & L Made in Usa 5 strings, with "Made in Eighties" he plays Steinberger XL2 4 strings of 1989, with Rebel Idol he plays the same exact basses as Billy’s bassist, Mr. Steve Mc Grath: Fender Precision Usa with EMG active electronics, Warwick Streamer Stage I 5 strings with EMG active electronics. Mark Bass amplification.
