When The Hooters first emerged on the Philadelphia music scene in 1980, they were conquering the East Coast at breakneck speed. Their unique blend of ska, reggae and rock n roll is what makes their fresh and powerful sound so successful. In 1983 they release their first independent album AMORE, which includes one of their biggest hits "All You Zombies".
By 1986 the band has four hit singles under their belt and are touring almost continuously. Quite unknown a year earlier, the band is now sharing stages with the likes of U2, The Police, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel. In 1987 THE HOOTERS release ONE WAY HOME, which features the famous hit "Johnny B".
More albums follow, and in 2000 they are honored by Ricky Martin, who covers their song "Private Emotion". After touring extensively for many years, THE HOOTERS decide to take a well-deserved break and focus on various solo projects. Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian lent their talents as both musicians and songwriters to other artists, including Taj Mahal, Mick Jagger, Willie Nelson, Jon Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Cyndi Lauper ("Time After Time" was nominated for several Grammys) and many more.Now, however, their fingers are tingling again, and THE HOOTERS want to know it live again.
