The BusBoys Have Inspired Many

During the freakishly odd early 1980’s, 5 black dudes and a Mexican shared the stage with the likes of The Go-Go’s, The Specials, Berlin, Flock of Seagulls and many other popular bands of the time.  It has been said that The BusBoys opened the door for Fishbone and Living Colour in a time when New Wave ruled the charts. Rumor has it that the two bands shared managers and the leader of the BusBoys, Brian O’Neal was instrumental in helping Fishbone find their name.

It’s odd that so many "Indie Cats" would credit Living Colour and Fishbone as major influences without mentioning The BusBoys.  The Internet has given fans the ability to share information and on this site, we will share them with you.  If you dig these tidbits of info and find them of interest, please repost, pass them along to your friends and family to help further The BusBoys legacy as one of the most compelling and unique bands to ever exist.
