The Rocky Fellers were a Filipino-born pop/rock band discovered by Stanley Kahn in the 1960s, who signed them to Scepter Records. The group was composed of four Filipino brothers: Tony, Junior, Eddie and Albert Maligmat, and their father, Doroteo "Moro" Maligmat. They had a hit single called "Killer Joe", written by Bert Russell, Phil Medley, and Bob Elgin in 1963. The song was inspired by famed dance instructor and 'King of the Discothèque', Killer Joe Piro.

"Killer Joe" reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 18, 1963. They followed up with another Bob Elgin song called "Like the Big Guys Do", which peaked as high as number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100. Among their other recordings was a Christmas novelty song, "Santa, Santa", written by a then-unknown songwriter, Neil Diamond. The Rocky Fellers also recorded another Neil Diamond song, "We Got Love" which is available on their LP, Killer Joe from 1963. The Rocky Fellers faded quickly from the music scene in the mid-1960s, primarily due to the arriving British Invasion bands and lack of interest from other record buyers.

Tony Maligmat died on March 4, 2007, at the age of 62.

Albert joined the Society of Seven in the 1970s where he was billed as "Little Albert" Maligmat, played drums and electric bass, and was the lead vocalist on one of the group's biggest hits, "99.8". He left the group to pursue a solo career but returned for several years in the 1980s.

As of November, 2017, Albert and Eddie are performing in Waikiki.

Later, the group would go on to form under a brand new name, The Fellers in the Rockys (The American Mountain Range).
