- George Hurley is a drummer noted for his work with The Minutemen and fIREHOSE. Even though he went to the same high school as D. Boon and Mike Watt he did not meet them until around 1978. That same year, Hurley formed The Reactionaries with Boon, Watt, and Martin Tamburovich. After The Reactionaries split, George joined a Hollywood new wave band called Hey Taxi. In 1980, Hey Taxi disbanded at the same time the Minutemen's then drummer Frank Tonche left the band. Hurley reunited with his two former Reactionaries bandmates in the Minutemen. Hurley is also known for his distinctive hairstyle that he sported in his later Minutemen and fIREHOSE days, a protruding clump of hair that he nicknamed "The Unit". Hurley explained in the 2005 Minutemen documentary We Jam Econo that since his limbs were all busy when he played drums, he grew "The Unit" so that his head movements were more noticeable on stage. Hurley has played with The Red Krayola and Tom Watson from Slovenly. He also plays with his surviving Minutemen cohort Mike Watt on occasion, usually performing a set of Minutemen songs without a third person substituting for the late Minutemen leader D. Boon under the name George Hurley and Mike Watt. In addition, he occasionally performs with improvisational group Unknown Instructors with Watt and members of Saccharine Trust and Pere Ubu. Their first album, The Way Things Work, was released in late September 2005 by Smog Veil Records. In October 2005, they returned to the studio to record their second album, this time with Pere Ubu's David Thomas as an added participant. He has been married since 1997 and has a son Garrett who was born in July 2002.
- Nonostante avesse frequentato la stessa scuola di D. Boon e Mike Watt, non li conobbe fino al 1978. Quell'anno Hurley formò i The Reactionaries con Boon, Watt e Martin Tamburovich. Dopo lo scioglimento della band, George si unì ad una band new wave chiamata band Hey Taxi. Nel 1980 gli Hey Taxi si sciolsero e il batterista Frank Tonche lasciò i Minutemen, la band che Boon e Watt avevano formato dopo la fine dei The Reactionaries. Allora Hurley si riunì con i suoi ex compagni nei Minutemen. Hurley ha suonato anche con i Red Crayola e con Tom Watson. Inoltre suona occasionalemte nella band Unknown Instructors, con Watt e componenti di Saccharine Trust e Pere Ubu. Finora la band ha pubblicato due album, The Way Things Work e The Master's Voice.
