East Side Indians

After Snydley disbanded, I joined a band named East Side Indians. We were along the same lines as bands like Bang Tango and Guns and Roses. This was a good band, but it was early 90′s and L.A. style slime bands were on the way out. We never really got traction even though I think we had some pretty good songs. We had trouble finding a permanent bass player and went through several sit ins which made gigging hard, but we did play a few small gigs.

    Hey Dana, you don’t know who I am but we used to play in a band up there in the Visalia/Fresno area when East Side Indians was playing around. Were you still with the band when the keyboard player joined? You guys finished up a show for us at a place somewhere between Visalia and Fresno on Hwy99 back when you all had about 5 songs total. We also did sound one night for you at that place on Mooney Blvd just outside of Visalia on the way to Tulare, I was laughing about the old metal/sleaze rock days and happened to put ESI into the search bar cuz I like your stuff (Mr. Sun) and your sight came up. I laughed when I read Louie’s Zoo. We opened up for Little Ceasar there. Goodtimes!! I was the bass player/singer for the band Defyer a metal/hard rock band ala Y&T, UFO with some Dokken influence thrown in. Good to check out your sight and get a blast from the past. Keep riding!!

    Hi. You don’t know me and this might be a completely ridiculous question, but here it is. I used to have a cassette from East Side Indians and have since lost it. I’ve tried for a long time now to find mp3s of them online, to no avail. You wouldn’t happen to have any or know where I could get any do you? Thanks for any help you can give.

      Julia, sorry I don’t have any recordings from when I played with East Side Indians. I wish I did, we made some good music.
