Ju Ju Hounds... what was it all about?..

History of the band - 1992-1993

The band was born at the end of 1991 when Jimmy '2 Fingers' Ashhurst came to his friend Izzy Stradlin who was sittin' at his hometown Lafayette and thinking what should he do after leaving Guns N' Roses. Together with Jimmy they decided to make a new band and began the writing process. At this time songs like Shuffle it All or Somebody Knockin' were born. Later on they asked Rick Richards (Georgia Satellites) and Charlie 'Chalo' Quintana (Cruzadors) to join them. At the very beginning the guys realized the chemistry between them is magical.

They moved to L.A. for jamming and recording. When the well known riots began they didn't feel very well being there and when the lightning hit the building while Izzy was recording vocals for 'Pressure Drop' they all understood they had to move somewhere else... "Head to Chicago, it's close to home, to get a little relief, don't really need to carry no gun here, don't need to be packin' no piece...".
