MOONLIGHT CRUISERS

The Moonlight Cruisers are an LA-based roots rock band highly influenced by Rockabilly and traditional Mexican music, among many other types. Established in 2000, the Cruisers began playing the local Rockabilly scene at backyard parties and small bars. Fronted by crooner and teen heart-throb Tony Pelayo of Flaming Aces and Sires fame, guitarist Al "Whirly-fingers" Martinez, bassist Sergio "Fito" Arroyo, and Aaron "Redburns" Martinez, who compile the Sundown Trio of old, came together for a perfect fit.

Early on, the guys in the Moonlight Cruisers began experimenting with their Rockabilly crowd by doing something entirely unheard-of for a Rockabilly band; mix Cumbias and other traditional Mexican music into their set. Little did they know their love for Rockabilly and Mexican music would be shared by many. Dubbed by some unknown source as "Cumbia Cats", the Cruisers built a fan base of gals and guys who like to shake their buns and watch some high-energy Rockabilly and on-stage antics. Along the way to becoming a premier act in the Rockabilly circuit, the Moonlight Cruisers invented a new sound now labeled Cumbiabilly.

The Cruisers are the greatest new sensation of latino roots Rock and Roll since Los Lobos and with their long-awaited CD out now on El Toro, the Moonlight Cruisers are sure to be playing new places and making new fans muy pronto!
