About Mean Streets VH Tribute Band
Mean Streets was formed in 2013 when 4 seasoned professional musicians discovered they shared a deep respect and love for the music of the legendary Van Halen.
Since their inception, Mean Streets has been dedicated to performing the timeless music of Van Halen with accuracy and authenticity.

Mean Streets are currently adding shows to their 2024-25 Rock Legends Tour, delivering powerhouse performance in their extensive setlist that make up The Van Halen Experience at their shows.

When it comes to delivering the same focus, energy and excitement of a Live Van Halen Show, Mean Streets performs at a level most bands only aspire to. With spot on vocals, soaring guitars, heart pumping bass runs, and the kit bashing stellar drum fills and rhythms. Mean Streets are a unique Van Halen Tribute band whose fans are loyal and appreciative of the skills sets, production value and creative spark these 4 professional musicians bring to the stage for every stellar performance…
Mean Streets consists of 4 extremely talented and versatile musicians with decades of experience between them:
Vocalist Matt Concienne as “Diamond Dave” (David Lee Roth) has been called “An Amazing Front Man” & “Powerhouse Vocalist”. Matt is also a talented Guitarist & Drummer. Matt explains his story… He’s been hearing his whole life, “just how much” he “Moved”, Sounded” & “Looked Like” David Lee Roth (DLR)… So many years ago Matt decided to bring his skills to honor Diamond Dave… When Matt shakes his blonde mane, jump kicks on stage or belts out a scream… audience enthusiasm and temperatures are sure to rise… In addition to Matt’s Stellar Vocals, his Dance Moves, Thrusting Antics, and Pant Splitting Jumps, have been described as “So much like DLR”, the experience of “watching him perform” is downright “uncanny”…
Guitarist/Backing Vocalist Roger Stanley as Eddie Van Halen (EVH) is a 30-year veteran of rock bands from the East Coast to the West…. Roger is now wowing crowds in the Southwest with his dexterity & versatility as a guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and all around sonic guru… It doesn’t take long for the listener to realize just how deeply he has studied EVH’s idiosyncratic and groundbreaking approach to rock guitar, successfully capturing the sound, phrasing and inventiveness that have made Eddie Van Halen one of the worlds most influential rock guitarists…
Drummer/Backing Vocalist Mike Troupe as Alex Van Halen, is a musician’s musician. A talented multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Mike combines the knowledge, control & intricacy of jazz and progressive music, with the high energy and raw power of the best rock drummers. In addition to his ability to capture both the swing and the sting of Alex Van Halen’s propulsive drumming, Mike’s wide ranging vocal abilities add an extra element of versatility to the band. Adding an extra 4th vocal that was not present in the original lineup when called for to better replicate the studio recordings is just one more example of Mike’s importance and versatility…
Rounding out the band is Bassist/Backing Vocalist Peter Gorritz as Michael Anthony. As any true VH fan knows, Michael Anthony was in many ways the band’s “Secret Weapon”; his pristine vocals and rock solid bass playing were what kept the band grounded, allowing Eddie to fly and Dave to soar. In addition to providing the high tenor MA vocals that were a hallmark of the VH sound, Peter is, like MA himself, the utility player of Mean Streets, supplying both the solid foundation and the ability to fill in space in the same way that always made VH sound like a much larger band…
While there are many bands out there that can do a pretty good job of capturing some elements of the Van Halen sound, you would be hard pressed to find another band that captures the thunderous precision of the recordings, the wild abandon of the live shows, the look and the sly humor & sheer showmanship that made the original VH legends in their own time in the same way that Mean Streets does…
It’s a show that simply must be experienced to be believed!
