Snip...
Pistoleros are alive and well down here in Arizona....they actually have a
self produced cd "Mistaken For Granted" released locally under their
original name "The Chimeras". They eventually signed with Hollywood Records
after the management change. They had to change the name of the band prior
to the national release after an Irish band of the same name raised a little
stink. They were recenty dropped from Hollywood. They have penned a
publishing deal with EMI and are currently looking for a label while working
day jobs and playing LOTS around the Phoenix metro area. Doug Hopkins, who
was, for the most part, the musical force behind Gin Blossoms started the
band with Mark and Lawrence Zubia after he was fired from Gin Blossoms (just
prior to the release of Gin Blossoms first record). Doug penned "My
Guardian Angel". Sadly, Doug left the band after a few short months and died
before the band cut the self produced record.
Ahhh yeah...gotta love this biz
