The Hooters
The Hooters is an American rock band, which was founded in Philadelphia in 1980. They combine elements of rock, reggae, ska, and folk music.
The Hooters first gained major commercial success in the United States in the mid-1980s due to heavy radio airplay and MTV rotation of several songs, including "All You Zombies", "Day by Day", "And We Danced", and "Where Do the Children Go". In 1985, the band played at the Live Aid benefit concert in Philadelphia. In Europe, the Hooters had success with the singles "All You Zombies" and "Johnny B", and the band's breakthrough across Europe came with the single "Satellite". In 1990, the band played at The Wall Concert in Berlin.
The Hooters have staged successful tours in Europe. In 2007, the band released its first album of new material since 1993, Time Stand Still. The band's most recent album, Rocking & Swing, was released in 2023.
Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian met in 1971 at the University of Pennsylvania. In the late 1970s, they played in a Philadelphia-based band called Baby Grand, which featured local singer David Kagan. Baby Grand released two albums on Arista Records.
In 1980, the Hooters were formed by Hyman and Bazilian. The band played their first show on July 4 that year. They took their name from a nickname for the melodica, a type of keyboard harmonica.
During the early 1980s, the Hooters played on Philadelphia's club scene, boosted by airplay on WMMR, a major rock radio station in Philadelphia. Their music was also played frequently on WRDV-FM in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They soon became a huge success along their native United States, playing everything from clubs to high schools, while appearing on local television shows. The original versions of "Man in the Street", "Fightin' on the Same Side", "Rescue Me", and "All You Zombies" were released as singles in the 1980s.
On September 25, 1982, the Hooters opened for one of the Who's farewell tour concert shows at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on a bill that also included The Clash and Santana.
In 1983, John Kuzma (guitar) and Bobby Woods (bass) left the band. They were replaced by John Lilley (guitar, backing vocals) and Rob Miller (bass, backing vocals), two former members of another popular local group, Robert Hazard and the Heroes.
