The Tempe, Arizona-based roots-rockers
the Pistoleros comprised frontman Lawrence Zubia, his guitarist brother Mark, guitarist Thomas Laufenberg, bassist
Scott Andrews and drummer
Gary Smith. The sons of a mariachi musican, the Zubias first emerged as members of the Chimeras, which also included the ill-fated future
Gin Blossoms guitarist Douglas Hopkins; "My Guardian Angel," originally written by Hopkins, later surfaced on the Pistoleros' 1997 debut
Hang on to Nothing, which also featured songwriting contributions from the
Jayhawks'
Gary Louris,
the Smithereens'
Pat DiNizio and
Radney Foster. ~ Jason Ankeny
