Melon Diesel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A successful alternative band from Gibraltar, signed by Sony Music, who achieved popularity in Spain.
Melon Diesel started playing under the name of Treehouse in the early '90s. The name was changed in 1995, based on a drink served at a Gibraltar bar (Collingwood's) where the band used to perform regularly. The group moved to London to work with producer Barry Sage, recording La Cuesta de Mr. Bond.[1]
The group has now split up but formed two new bands, Area 52 and Taxi.
While Area 52 has remained in the local circuit in Gibraltar, Taxi retains frontman Dylan Ferro and has released two albums with some commercial success in Spain, inheriting a portion of Melon Diesel's fanbase.
