A stimulating mix of unparalleled R&B freak out...
Surf & blues influenced guitars, jazz, pop & 60's garage rock all crashing into one to form what is "The Busstop Hurricanes".

A unique blending of tremolo, space & sound, with experimental & modern influences! The flare of the band lies in their unconventionality, with a focus on musical & visual stimulation.
They are one of the most entertaining live
bands you will ever witness, with on stage performance
& sonic musical landscapes like no other. Pulling from
a deep well of influences, each song is as diverse & eclectic as the band members themselves.


The band consists of Sammy Tonic, the handsome & charismatic front man; Ms. Twisty L'emons expelling musical “Exotica” out from her guitar; the spiritual guitar sensations of Hector Jesus Joachim D’Lamour;
J. Edgar Hoover channeling his rhythmic vibrations on upright bass; Chief Tambourino on drums; and featuring Caesar Clave on trumpet and percussion.
 
The Busstop Hurricanes have been performing together for the last 7 years, recruiting a growing mass of
dedicated followers with their live shows. They have headlined such L.A. venues as “The House of Blues”,
“Lava Lounge”, “The Garage”, “Martini Lounge”,
“Kibitz Room” & "The Roxy". Orange County venues include "The House of Blues Anaheim", "Blue Cafe", "Detroit Bar", "Linda's Doll Hut", "The Foothill", "Continental Room", and "Memphis Soul Cafe".
