Drugstore (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drugstore are a British-based three-piece pop rock and dream pop band comprising Brazilian singer and bassist Isabel Monteiro, drummer Mike Chylinski, and guitarist Daron Robinson. Specialising in a mellow and often dreamy sound, Drugstore released their debut single "Alive" in 1993. Their eponymous debut album followed in 1995. They recorded a song with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke titled "El President," which was included on their second album White Magic for Lovers.

The band's name is taken from the 1989 film Drugstore Cowboy.

Drugstore played at a protest in London which called for the extradition of the Chilean General Augusto Pinochet.
