Tuscadero

Tuscadero was an indie rock band from Washington, DC, one of the most prominent on the Washington-based TeenBeat Records roster. The band, which took its name from the Happy Days character Leather Tuscadero, crafted a blissful pop punk influenced by girl groups and the pop culture of its members' 1970s childhoods. Formed in late 1993, Tuscadero released three 7" singles, an album, and an EP on Teenbeat before signing to Elektra Records in 1995. Although the band broke up in 1999, they reunited in February 2005 for a one-off performance at TeenBeat's twentieth anniversary celebration.
