Derrero sadly no more :-(

Just heard from Derrero that they have finally split up, sad news. Still, they leave behind a fine legacy of music and memories. Andy and Dave from the band are now playing in a band called Cymbient, Sion (the stand in guitarist from ‘Murry the Hump’ who played the gig over here) is now playing in a band called ‘The Keys’ and Mary is doing some singing for her partner Martin Carr’s (ex Boo Radleys songwriter) band ‘Brave Captain’, so good to see they are all still playing, definitely means that (for me at least) ‘Comb the Breaks’ becomes one of the great ‘lost albums’.

“Things here are good. Our first gig is on Tuesday at the Louisiana supporting a pretty f#ckn good local band called The New Rhodes. They sound like a cross between the Strokes and Blondie and will probably blow us off stage with one sweep of their skinny ties. We’re looking forward to it though. Should be good to watch a load of strangers trying to tap their feet to ‘Flesh Gallery’.”
