BulletBoys are very excited to announce the addition of drummer Joaquin Revuelta
Joaquin is no new comer to the rock scene. Aside from playing with various artists, some will remember him most recently with Stephen Pearcy’s solo project. He has recorded and performed with other countless bands and artists ranging from Papa Roach to Richard Marx and everything in between. Joaquin was born and raised in Montebello, CA has always been connected to BulletBoys through 6 degrees of separation as he has been friends with Jimmy D’Anda (original BulletBoys drummer) since they were teenagers. Ironically, Joaquin gave Jimmy D’Anda a ride and witnessed Jimmy’s BulletBoys audition back in 1987.
Revuelta says: “I was excited when asked to fill in for Shawn Duncan during the Long Hot Summer Tour and honored when offered a permanent position with BulletBoys and legendary Marq Torien/BulletBoys! I feel at home and I am flattered that Marq asked me to continue on with BulletBoys. I am totally familiar with the old school music and really looking forward to playing new music with him, Nick and Chad. Marq is an incredible song writer and I am eager to record a challenging, original new record filled with hits.”
“Being able to have Joaquin and a guy that grew up in my neighborhood play and record with BulletBoys is very much well deserved,” adds singer Marq Torien. “During my career, I have not met a more loving and giving soul personally as well as musically in a very very long time. This past summer, we were blessed by having Joaquin come in and agree in a blink of an eye to do our Long Hot Summer Tour. Not only did he fill in, but won the hearts over of many of our fans. He played with vigor, tenacity and groovability that made us all collectively feel that he was a true team player no matter what cards were dealt us.”
“Joaquin brings an incredible energy on and offstage,” says Nick Rozz.
With a new record due to be released in early 2017, BulletBoys recently just finished a successful tour and are currently gearing up to record in the studio with producer Rick Parker and his partner Engineer Luke Tierney.
