History

One of the early groups to define the Garage Rock revival in Detroit and the United States,[2][3] Fortune & Maltese (a/k/a Fortune and Maltese and The Phabulous Pallbearers) are a five-piece Detroit-based garage band.[4][5] Formed in 1993 in Kalamazoo & Ann Arbor, MI by Michael Maltese, Freddy Fortune, Nat Cromlech, Dusty Sexton and J.C. Graves, they have toured The United States, Europe and Canada with their particular brand of 1960s-influenced music[6][7][8] and have been featured in the films "It Came From Detroit"[9] and on the soundtrack to the Russ Meyer-homage "Pervert ".[10]

In November 2010 Fortune and Maltese were named "No. 35" in their "Detroit's Greatest Hits That Should Have Been" list with their single "Leave No Stone Unturned" / "Time Has Gone" (Get Hip) 1997.[11]

In 2013 Freddy Fortune and Michael Maltese appeared with other Detroit musicians as Benedict Arnold & The Traitors to play in San Diego with Paul Revere & The Raiders' front man Mark Lindsay at the Ugly Things Magazines 30th Anniversary Celebration [12]
