The Sidewinders (later the Sand Rubies) were a rock band from Tucson,
Arizona, who released two major-label albums and scored two radio hits in
the US before a lawsuit forced a change of name. Another album was released
on a major label but by that time the band had nearly broken up. Since then
the band has reunited and dissolved several times.
History The Sidewinders formed in the spring of 1985 by guitarist Rich
Hopkins and vocalist David Slutes.[LINK:
