Los Pacaminos

Starting in the early 90’s, and not meant to be anything other than fun. Fortunately, it was so much fun that no-one wanted it to stop!

Originally formed as a Tex–Mex band, they have now evolved a sound that’s all their own, taking in the influences of Ry Cooder, Flaco Jimenez, Roy Orbison, The Texas Tornados, Calexico, Ennio Morricone, Texas blues, a little bit of Country, Cajun, Conjunto and a hefty slice of Americana. The songwriting is strong, and blessed with more than a few good vocalists in the band the variety of material can be shaped to fit each singer.

The original band members are Paul Young (of solo career notoriety), Jamie Moses (Pretenders, Brian May & Queen, Tom Jones and a host of others), Drew Barfield (The Keys, The Big Heat, JB All Stars), Matt Irving (Dream Police, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Lords Of The New Church, Paul Young, Squeeze etc.), Melvyn Duffy (Jimmy Nail, Deanna Carter, Robbie Williams, The Waterboys, First Aid Kit), Steve Greetham (Paul Young, Julia Fordham) and Mark Pinder (Vampire Bats from Lewisham, Paul Young, Alison Moyet). All shows this year are in support of the recent release of Los Pacaminos’ 2ndstudio album, “ A Fistful Of Statins”. Google it, you’ll have to look hard to find a bad review!!! It’s the truth..
