The Hooters

The Hooters are an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 1980 by Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman. The band blends elements of rock, reggae, ska, and folk music to create their distinctive sound. Their name comes from the melodica, also known as a "hooter," which became a signature instrument in their early music. The band first gained major commercial success in the mid-1980s with hits like "And We Danced" and "Day by Day," which were prominent tracks on their breakthrough album "Nervous Night" (1985). This album achieved multi-platinum status and established The Hooters as a staple of the decade's music scene.

As the years progressed, The Hooters maintained a dedicated fan base and continued to produce music that resonated with audiences. Their albums "One Way Home" (1987) and "Zig Zag" (1989) solidified their reputation as talented musicians with a flair for storytelling and socially conscious lyrics. Over the years, they would release a series of collections and live recordings, including “Hooterization: A Retrospective” and “Both Sides Live (Live at the Secret Sessions).” Renowned for their energetic and engaging live performances, The Hooters remain a seasoned act with lasting appeal, as evidenced by their lively concerts and enduring fan support. Their more recent works like “Five by Five” and "Give the Music Back - Live Double Album" showcase a band that, while rooted in the sounds of the 1980s, continues to evolve and embrace the essence of rock and roll.
