The Sidewinders

The Sidewinders were another Tuscon-based band. They were arranged around guitar hero Rich Hopkins and singer David Slutes. They delivered three smashing longplayers worth looking for. Trouble concerning their name forced them to change it. The band continued as Sand Rubies, adding more great records.
