Street Light Suzie is
a toxic trio consisting of Wiley Ross on Guitar and Vocals,
Ben Evans on the Bass and Chuy Trevino on the drums.
Street light Suzie began when Wiley moved to Austin from
Springfield Missouri and Ben from Denver Colorado. The
first handful of bands Ben tried playing with were a bunch
of tools, as was the case with Wiley. So out of frustration
Ben put an add in the musician section of the Chronicle
that read, "looking for other musicians to drink beer,
smoke pot and Rock out..."
Wiley was one of the
only few who responded. They immediately started practicing
in Ben's shifty apt. and once they had a hand full of
songs down they started looking for a drummer. They went
through 24 try outs (most so excruciating we don't even
wanna talk about it) until they found Drummer 1. But
only after a small handful of shows he left the band.
As was the case with drummers 2, drummer 3 and 4. But
none the less they made progress playing rowdy show after
rowdy show. They now have landed Chuy Trevino on the
drums and play shows all the time all over the United
States. So come out, get loaded and have blast! We're
currently looking for a label who will put us on the
road for ever and ever.
It's hard to convey the power of a live
show through a CD, but Street Light Suzie pulls it off
with seemingly no effort. Their debut album, “Red
River Revival” is a raucous jaunt through everything
that makes Rock-N-Roll fun. Vocalist Wiley Ross, bassist
Ben Evans and drummer Chuy Trevino team up to make music
that hooks the listener from the start. Bluesy and harsh,
it’s almost as if they all camped out at the “crossroad” and
drank Satan under the table. This band could have started
the “sex, drugs and rock and roll” cliche,
had they been born earlier. Ross’ voice is like
an old razor blade: rusty but sharp, and very likely
infectious. |
