The band developed a unique sound they called “funkasalsalypso” and had a good deal of regional success, culminating in the 1992 release of the album “Walking On the Coals”, and followed by a stint performing in Bangkok, Thailand for Evening Star Productions.
The band was a fixture at music festivals and on concert stages throughout the Southwest, opening for a wide variety of artists, including Meat Loaf, Poncho Sanchez, The Bonedaddys and many more. They were also a regular attraction at AZ nightclubs of the day: Charly’s in Flagstaff, Nolaz in Prescott, The Spirit Room in Jerome, and Chuy’s in Tempe, to name a few.
“I always thought Limbs Akimbo was the best, most original band to come out of Flagstaff”, says Jake Horine, former owner of Flagstaff’s premiere live music club of the era, The Monsoons. “There were other bands that were great, but they were different. Kind of a unique, world-beat thing.”
