The Moonlight Cruisers are an LA-based roots rock band highly influenced by rockabilly and traditional Mexican music, among many other types.
Established in 2000, the guys in the Moonlight Cruisers began experimenting with their rockabilly crowd by doing something entirely unheard-of for a rockabilly band; mix cumbias and other Mexican music into their set. Little did they know their love for rockabilly and Mexican music would be shared by many. Dubbed by some unknown source as "Cumbia Cats", the Cruisers built a fan base of gals and guys who like to shake their buns and watch some high-energy rockabilly and on-stage antics. Along the way to becoming a premier act in the rockabilly circuit, the Moonlight Cruisers invented a new sound now labeled Cumbiabilly.
The Moonlight Cruisers have played such places as the Hootenanny, the Palladium, the House of Blues, the Knitting Factory, El Cid, the Doll Hut, the Rumble bar, the Anarchy Library, as well as many other venues. They have even shared the stage with the likes of the Stray Cats, Hank Williams III, Los Straitjackets, the Paladins, Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys, along with tons of local bands.
