History
Huevos Rancheros performed an instrumental blend of rockabilly, surf, grunge and punk music. The band's last incarnation consisted of guitarist Brent Cooper, bassist Tommy Kennedy (who replaced founding bassist Graham Evans) and drummer Richie Ranchero. Cooper is currently a member of The Ramblin' Ambassadors, a four-piece instrumental band. In 1996, Huevos Rancheros were signed to the C/Z record label,[1] but all subsequent releases were handled by Mint Records.[2] In 1998, their album Get Outta Dodge was nominated for a Juno Award in the Best Alternative Album category.[3]
