The Defibrillators Are Long Island Songwriters and Musicians:
Sonny Meadows, Sonny Speed, Bob "Pops" Westcott, Bobby "Buddy Boy" Cattrano, Dr. Max Foreman, Robert Langley

They all met at the Golden Requiem Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in 2001. Having tired of shuffleboard and Bingo, they began singing and banging on tables, pots and pans as Sonny Speed chimed in on the Day Room piano.

Soon the whole room was up dancing to their rockin' sounds. Several residents became so excited that Dr. Foreman had to wheel in the portable defibrillator to get them up and dancing again - and in that instant the name of the band was created.

Thanks to the efforts of family members and social work staff, the boys were able to acquire several guitars, amplifiers, and a full drum kit.
