A Texas Rock Legacy 
BUSHBULLIT
is a slang word for Armadillo, which has been a symbol for Texas music
for years. It brings back
memories of the Armadillo Headquarters in Austin, Texas in the early
70's. BUSHBULLIT is from South Texas and plays
Texas inspired Rock and Blues. 0.B.
Gonzalez, lead guitarist and vocalist, and Vic Godines the current drummer
have known each other since they were in high school. Vic first worked with 0. B. in a band
called Apple. In an early
success, Apple recorded two albums that produced two single releases
that were regional hits in South Texas. After
Apple disbanded in late 1972, 0. B. subsequently formed the original
BUSHBULLIT. In 1976, BUSHBULLIT
started playing at Inza's Lonesome Coyote Saloon, in Corpus Christi,
Texas. Two years later, while playing at The
Lonesome Coyote, 0. B. met Walter Presley, current bassist and vocalist
for BUSHBULLIT. After the
addition of drummer Billy Cartier in 1986, this legendary coalition
of accomplished musicians proved to be exceedingly durable, with a melding
of talent that elevated BUSHBULLIT into a league of their own. For over ten years they continued to make
their presence known on the South Texas music scene. The winds of change, which resulted in
Billy's departure from BUSHBULLIT in late 1997 also, heralded the return
of Apple drummer, Vic Godines. This convergence of Vic, Walter, and 0. B. has brought into focus a potent combination of many years of musical experience and raw talent. Their nightly repertoire includes tributes to Texas greats like Freddie King, Willie Dixon, ZZ Top, The Fabulous T-Birds, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Delbert McClinton. There are also tributes to the Allman Bros., Hendrix, Cream, George Thorogood, Creedence, Bob Seger and Lynyrd Skynrd. BUSHBULLIT continues a legacy and tradition started long ago. Their inspiration comes from early Texas greats like Freddie King, Albert King and Johnny Winter. This synergistic alliance of Texas Rock and Blues musicians collectively represents the dynamic make up and sensational sounds of the South Texas' best kept secret, BUSHBULLIT. BUSHBULLIT
