Sweet N Evil - '90s Rock Band
Sweet N Evil blitzed the music clubs in the tri-state area throughout the ’90s. In the days of grunge, they were giving a complete performance for both the eyes, and the ears. Led by bombastic singer Tracey Lepore, all of those that were lucky enough to witness their onslaught, would never forget it.

The band was formed in 1990 by singer Tracey and bass player Jeff "JP Salty" Saltzgiver. They didn’t want to be “just another band”, they wanted to be bigger than that. With Tracey's charisma and stage presence, they knew that she was just the one that would be able to pull it off.

They developed the concept of having a “show” with each song. In fact, when most bands just showed up at the club with their guitars, they were carrying around a 5-man crew/actors, tons of props, a bunch of lights, a follow spot, pyrotechnics and a sound man. Most nights it cost the band members money out of their pockets to pay the crew. Oh yea, I almost forgot, they also carried around another member of Sweet N Evil… Alice, an 8-foot boa constrictor. She was quite the performer!

A Brief History From JP Salty
Tracey (occasionally with my help) choreographed all the action. I built all the scenery, props, and initially, all the explosives. We could do things in those days you couldn’t even think of getting away with today. Since I was the only one that could actually put the band on stage, I also drove the truck and roadied. It was a small price to pay to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

Long before we put Sweet N Evil (Tracey came up with the name) together, we began writing songs. The first one we ever wrote was Empty Love, and that song would be our show closer for the entire run of the band. Although we went through numerous guitar players and drummers, Tracey and I were always the core. We believed in what we were doing.
