The Surgeonaires are the latest signing to Black Cat Records.

Tigger Lyons, Hustler's bassist and Producer of Hustler’s third album, ‘Reloaded’, has teamed up with fellow 'Brain Surgeon' Brian Dear (singer/songwriter/guitarist/frontman) and rock drummer John Barrett.

The Surgeonaires are three experienced musicians, who've been performing their own style of Hard Rock in West London Pubs and Clubs for the past year and are now poised to play to bigger venues. The band's unique style of music was born in London's Punk Rock scene in the late 70s and reflects the eclectic journey of the personal experiences and musical influences of Tigger and Brian over the past 40 years or so.
 
Brian and Tigger formed 'The Brain Surgeons' shortly after Hustler broke up in 1976. The Brain Surgeons disbanded in 1978 when Tigger and drummer Mark Evans accepted an offer to work in Los Angeles.
By chance, Brian and Tigger were brought together for an unrehearsed live performance at the General Eliott (Tigger’s Local Pub) in January 2023 and the special relationship was reignited. All they needed was a tight rock drummer to complete the line up so Tigg contacted his old friend, Johnny B and The Surgeonaires were born. 

In February 2024 they released a 3 Track EP - A Delicate Operation and are currently working on their first Album in between performing live.

Influences: Van Morrison, The Who, Cream, Bruce Springsteen, The Stranglers and Wilko Johnson.
