The Del Fuegos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Del Fuegos were a garage-style pop band in the 1980s with lead singer Dan Zanes, guitarist Warren Zanes (his brother), bassist Tom Lloyd, and drummer Brent "Woody" Giessmann. The Boston-based band was signed to a series of respected indie labels, was touted by fans such as Tom Petty, starred in a beer commercial, and gained airplay with "Don't Run Wild" and "I Still Want You".
Dan Zanes went on to a solo career and success recording children's music and videos, made popular by heavy airplay on Noggin.
Brother Warren Zanes went on to earn two Master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Visual and Cultural Arts. He is also the Vice President of Education at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Tom Lloyd went back to college and earned a bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley before attending graduate school at the California Institute of Technology. He is divorced from a former Del Fuegos groupie who used to design Barbie-doll packaging for Mattel.
In 2003, Woody Giessmann founded Right Turn, a program offering assistance to artists in recovery from drug addiction and other mental health issues.
