History

Walter Meego was formed in 2004[1] by Justin Sconza (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Pat Pellegrini, and Colin Yarck (production) in the basement of Pellegrini's house. Pellegrini left the band in 2005. Andrew Adzemovic joined the group in 2007 as a guitarist and vocalist. They released a series of EPs before their debut album "Voyager," which was released in May 2008. Their second album, Wondervalley, was released in November 2010, available as a free digital download on their website and for purchase via iTunes.

Several of the band's songs have been featured on TV shows and advertisements, including ABC's Ugly Betty[2] and the Heineken "Beertender" ads which aired in 2008. Additionally, Justin Sconza's solo song, "Pretty Picture," was featured in the Cox Communications ad, "Pod," starting in the summer of 2008. The spot was produced by Jan Chen and Lane Nakamura.[3]

On October 12, 2011, Walter Meego's end was officially announced via the group's Twitter account.[4]

As of their final years, the members were based in Los Angeles, California.
