Hurricane Tom Jones A Division of Not Elton John
This is the end result of a generation raised on fast food, commercials, TV, and coffee mugs, and rock and roll. And Tom Jones. Unabashed experimentalism, makeshift drums, total disregard for copyright laws.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We formed on 4/20/05. We were not high.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We played at this army base once. This is back before we started doing our own stuff, and we were covering Guns 'n Roses, ACDC, ZZ Top, the whole bit. Anyway, we played our first set and when our guitarist Jimmy went into the guitar solo for "November Rain", man, the crowd just went nuts. So then we took a break and conversed with the crowd. These soldiers, they're extraordinary people. Just like you and me, but the sacrifices they make for their country is just so admerable. Anyway, after about a half hour we went back on, and oh man. It was probably the most amazing spiritual experience we ever had. Our frontman, Kerry "Razor" Hopkins, who is probably, the greatest front man in the history of rock and roll!, jumped out into the crowd a couple times, and they carried him and everything. You could close your eyes and just feel the love and spirit that was in there. That was probably the highlight of my life.
