   KeepitWrigley.com was launched recently to demonstrate that the Cubs' huge countrywide fan base will not tolerate the corporate renaming of Wrigley Field and that a backlash will occur if the team's new owner attempts to rename the 93-year-old national treasure.  Please click on the link above and add your name to the petition!  Thanks for your support!

   Kevin "Del Rio" Darelius
   Acoustic/Electric Guitars, Vocals
   Graduate of the local country music scene, Kevin has vowed never again to play "Boot Scootin' Boogie".  blah blah Nashville blah awards blah blah blah opening act blah blah shows blah blah and before I forget, blah blah blah.    
    
   Jim Grass
   Drums
   I started out this music journey on violin. After my parents were advised "Jimmy is too rampageous for violin "I started playing trumpet all the way into high school.  The need to play rock-n-roll by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Mott the Hoople pushed me towards the drums.  I've had the pleasure of playing with  Legal Tender, Random Order, The Lucy Parks Grass Band, The Three Piece Band, Gladstone Bag, Electric Medicine,  Maji, The Preachers Mad Daddy, The Forest City Ramblers, and now Vista Cruiser.  
    
   Greg Jones
   Bass, Vocals
   Single white male seeks goat for friendship first, maybe more. 
   
   Matt Losey
   Acoustic/Electric Guitars, Vocals
   aka "Lucy", aka "Jake Southwick", Matt has played in the local jam band scene for years.  Matt has played with the Lucy Parks Grass Band, and has played with various bluegrass projects and as a solo artist.  "Vista Cruiser is truly what I've been looking for.  As a band, we have the ability to play anything - that is very cool!"  Influences include Fozzie Bear, Ralph the Dog, and the two old guys in the theatre box. 
     
   Kevin Lyons
   Keyboards, Vocals
   Kevin's bio was eaten by a goat - seriously.  If you see this goat anywhere, please do not approach without notifying Greg.
   
   Iggy
   Drums & Percussion
   You've probably seen him with the BLUE MOON PROJECT - Iggy joins Jim in our percussion dept.. when he's able - and he buys us drinks, so he can sit in anytime he wants.
   

   
   Special thanks to JASON AMES, our secret weapon.  Jason's the guy who plays guitar with The Forest City Ramblers, runs the soundboard and helps make us sound great.  Thanks Jason!

        At our most recent show at Mary's Place, we had the pleasure of having Mr. Bun E Carlos of Cheap Trick in attendance.  Really, he was the sit-in drummer for our opening act "The High Sausalitos".  They did a great job getting the crowd in the mood for partying, and the crowd was crazydancintwirlintrippin.  Bun E. was nice enough to meet with the crowd and sign autographs.  A true class act.  Thanks Bun E.!

   The photo is a hint of a new song.  If you can't figure it's title out, shame on you.
   
   Hey everyone....
        Can't wait to hear from our fans and friends here on Moli - as of right now we're looking at adding another six songs (or so) to our setlist for our next show.  One of the things we constantly push for is new songs to play and interweave into our shows.  "Dear Prudence" came together almost effortlessly, and we're looking into songs from JGB and GD, Traffic, The Who, and maybe Roy Buchanan and some Pink Floyd.  
        Anyway, if you'd like us to consider a cover, (and we get some really weird s**t mentioned to us), let us know next time you see us, or drop us a note!  See you next gig!
