Biography
Taking their name from a nickname for the melodica, The Hooters first got together in 1980 and became one of America's biggest bands through that decade - Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman first met in 1971 at the University of Pennsylvania and played together in Philadelphian band Baby Grand, which went on to make two albums. The Hooters' determined rock style quickly made them a success on the Philadelphia club scene, leading to a major tour with The Who and their debut album Amore. They also came to play a key role in the early success of Cyndi Lauper, writing songs for and playing on her hit debut album She's So Unusual. This alone turned them into hot property and they were signed by Columbia Records, resulting in their album Nervous Night selling over 2 million and launching them directly into the forefront of American rock. In 1987 the band found success in Europe on the back of the hit single Satellite from their album One Way Home, 1989 saw another major hit with 500 Miles from the album Zig Zag, and in 1990 they appeared at Roger Waters' staging of The Wall in Berlin. In the late 1990s they diversified into other projects, Bazilian writing the Joan Osborne hit One Of Us as well as producing and writing her debut album Relish. However, it was over a decade before The Hooters played together again, releasing their comeback album Time Stand Still in 2007, followed by the Both Sides Live double album.
