WHO WE ARE

Hot damn, it’s the Hellbusters
, from Reno, Nevada, USA… we play pure, natural, lean, hard, raw blues at high volume and rocket speed.

The Hellbusters are Todd Mauldin on guitar and vocals, and Jack D. Doyle III Esq. Jr. on harp and stomp box. We play our own brand of Mississippi-inspired blues. Our shows are fun and funny, soulful and sinful. Stylistically, call it RL Burnside meets Georoge Thorogood in a dark alley, just as Henry Rollins walks up with Kim Wilson… and somebody starts counting off.

People all over the world are listening to the Hellbusters and digging our raw, mean, driving sound… sound like fun? Then don’t be shy. Obey the Hellbusters!

Mid-Summer Report!
This is a picture from last year’s Burning Girl festival.  I dressed up in a cheongsam and shot a man in the head.  Is complicated story.  Move on.
THIS year’s Burning Girl is now over, and it was a great, hot, dirty, fun time.   Our friends from Paper Moon built a MASSIVE shade structure/theme camp called “Hellbusters’ Voodoo Lounge” and it was one of a few social hubs of the whole event (the other being the stage area, and the saloon out in the willows).  We had 10 adults and 15 kids in our party, and x2 that to occasionally x5 that hanging around the lounge all weekend.  In addition to a blistering first set going VERY well and a second set going completely to shit (mainly because some drunken asshole jumping up on the empty drum set behind us and wrecking our songs), we had a lot of fun hosting Mojitos at 2pm every day, and a Top Hat and Tie Martini party.  PLUS I also used our in-camp PA system for jams AND I also ran Action Castle, Action Castle II and Jungle adventure for 20-plus players during the weekend.  Don’t know about Action Castle?  Check out memento-mori.com
Saturday, we went up to Northern California and played a show in Westwood.  It was a lot of fun.  The fast stuff went down pretty well.  It was “Paul Bunyan Days” in Westwood, lots of people in town, the bar was packed.  I want to go back as soon as they’ll have us.
Next up, we’re doing a private event called “Pigpocalypse!” where I think there will be a roasted pig in the ground and five other bands… and then there’s more dates in August.
We’ll be in touch.
Meanwhile, listen to some songs while you’re here.  CDs are still available at shows (though not online), or you can get digital hard blues goodness at itunes and cdbaby.com

We’re back from Memphis, beaten but unbowed, uncrowned but unrepentant!  The International Blues Challenge was a blast.  I hope to have coverage of it to share here on hellbusters.net (a lot of the fun never made it onto our facebook pages) soon.  Meanwhile, here’s a picture of us back at it in Reno, at Walden’s last night.  Photo by our good friend Todd South.

Hello, you people stumbling in from the IBC website to see about us Hellbusters… you’re all very attractive and popular and no doubt have excellent musical taste.
We’ll see you at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, end of January… but do stick around awhile, listen to a song or two. :)

We’re done with our run of recent shows and it was really great!  We get, like, two or three weekends off or something, then we’re going to crash the RBS MASH Bash again in November… and I have plans for an online concert in November, too.  Check back for details on that.  Meanwhile, I’m going to rest my ass awhile. :)
