The Drellas are a musical group that was formed by Tommy Scott after the break-up of Space.

They formed at the beginning of 2005 and was to be 'Tommy's outlet for his darker and heavier side'. Indeed, The band have a very different sound from Space; their songs are more guitar-driven and feature more profanity and references to sex, and sometimes feature screaming vocals from Tommy. They have toured several times with Shack.

Tommy says: "I absolutely love my new band The Drellas, I've never felt so excited about music since I first heard the likes of Spizz Energi, Elvis, ATV, X-Ray Spex, Motörhead, Frank Sinatra, the Flamingos and Echo and the Bunnymen. When we plug in, I feel I can finally hear the sounds I've always craved for in my head, I ADORE OUR NOISE!"

"After much frustration with Space (no offence to the boys - they were just as frustrated as me), I decided I need to sail on a new ship...Enter Phil and his brain-thumping basslines! We jammed at home with a drum machine, but the poor little rhythm machine just didn't have the power on its own...Enter Leon and his pounding tom toms! Along with the 70's drum machine the band moved up a stage. YES! But there was still something missing...Enter Sofie and her spooky cello and keyboards! The Drellas were complete at last!

"As for where the name comes from, Drella was Andy Warhol's nickname given to him by Lou Reed, as he was half Dracula and half Cinderella - just like this band!
