The Sidewinders

The Sidewinders (later the Sand Rubies) was a rock band from Tucson, Arizona, who released two major-label albums and scored two radio hits in the US before a lawsuit forced a change of name. Another album was released on a major label but by that time the band had nearly broken up. Since then the band has reunited and dissolved several times.
The Sidewinders formed in the spring of 1985 by guitarist Rich Hopkins and vocalist David Slutes.[http://home.comcast.net/~calmenge/contingency/sandrubies.html Sidewinders/Sand... meer
