Sidewinders - !Cuacha! (256Kbps VBR) [1987]

History

The Sidewinders formed in the spring of 1985 by guitarist Rich Hopkins and vocalist David Slutes.^[1] The group released its first record, Cuacha!, in 1988, and subsequently signed to RCA/Mammoth Records, where they released two full-length albums, 1989's Witchdoctor and 1990's Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall. Witchdoctor cracked the lower echelons of the Billboard 200 at #169,^[2] on the strength of two modern rock radio hits; the band scored exposure on MTV and VH1 and embarked on a worldwide tour,^[3] but the band's career was soon sidelined due to legal problems. In 1991, a North Carolina cover band known as Sidewinder sued the group over the use of its name, and it took two years to sort out the proceedings and secure the release of their next album, now under the name Sand Rubies.^[4]

As the Sand Rubies, they released an album on Polydor/Atlas in 1993; at one point, Pearl Jam served as their opening act.^[5] However, due to attrition over the period of legal troubles, the rhythm section of the band had departed, and the Sand Rubies dissolved during a tour in 1993,^[1][3] just as two other Arizona rock bands, Gin Blossoms and The Refreshments, were attracting mainstream attention.

A few one-off shows were given in 1995 and 1996 before an official Sand Rubies reunion was announced in October 1996.^[1] A show at SXSW followed in 1997, as did a new album, Return of the Living Dead, in 1998. They were able to independently release a best-of collection of tracks from their major label years entitled The Sidewinders Sessions, and an all-covers album, Release the Hounds, ensued in 1999 along with a tour of Europe.^[1] The band broke up again, followed by short reunion stints in 2001-02 and 2006 to support renewed local touring and special rereleases.[1 Complete story @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Rubies
