The Tempests are an American garage rock band that formed in 1962 in Tampa Bay, Florida, and have continued to remain active over the years, still playing to audiences.

Charley Bailey also left to play with the Rosington Collins band and was replaced by keyboard player Roy Delise.

The Tempests were chosen as the Florida House Band for the Nationally acclaimed Hullabaloo tv show and related clubs in the 1960s.

After one of the members was drafted during the Vietnam era, Tommy Angarano pursued additional music interests playing in The Emotions, Pink Anacin, Raven and the Outlaws, before regrouping as "The Tempests".
