About Me

Busticles is a fearsome foursome located in Phoenix, AZ, originating from Cincinnati, OH. With home grown grooves, they've been frequenting the desert venues and bringing a taste of original flavor.The band consists of brothers Jon and Brandon Weil, who have been jammin since the ages of 8 and 6 on guitar and drums, respectively; Sunir Patel on bass, who was initiated in 1995; and the last inductee, Mike Ward on vocals, who anted up in 1997. The unit finally morphed into Busticles circa 1999 and has been going on strong ever since. They arrived in the desert in 2002, immediately making a bunch of noise and claiming a stake in the Phoenix area rock scene.With a blend of styles, primary influences include rock, reggae, hip-hop, metal and funk. The result is likely to quicken the pulse, make one think, and put the mind at ease. The band's sound has been compared (in various ways) to Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, the Chili Peppers, 311 and dog shit, but when all brewed up together, its pure Busticles.Please check out the sounds and contact us for booking or for live erotic chat. Looking to play in the Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Southern California areas.Peace. Busticles.
