reincarnation of the Animals or Mitch Ryder & the
Detroit Wheels, and fronted by a mesmerizing, manic,
jittery singer we think was named Sammy, who looked
like a young, foppy Van Morrison. They're a meaty
band grounded in the rebel-rock anthems that came out
of 1960s garages (back when rock & roll was still
dangerous) and loaded with great, nasty,
offend-your-grandparents guitars. And what showmen!
Sammy, for his part, spent a good hunk of the set
crawling on top of the bar (when he wasn't falling
off it) while belting out high-test R&B. The only
weak moment arrived during their odd, awkward attempt
at esoteric jazzbo poetry ("Onion, my onion, when I
cut you, you make me cry, cry, cry!"—whathafuh?), but
mostly the band pinched off perfect music for laying
down rubber across open, foreboding highways. On the
very day when Screamin' Jay Hawkins left this planet,
we're sure that some of his spirit entered the bodies
of the Busstop Hurricanes on its way to heaven.
