Bio
Drugstore are a London-based alternative, late-night smokin indie-pop/ alt-country band led by eccentric, wine drenched, chain-smoking Brazilian singer-songwriter and bassist Isabel Monteiro (b. São Paulo, Brazil), who relocated to England in 1990s, with Dave Hunter (later replaced by Daron Robinson) on guitar and Mike Chylinski on drums -- The band's name is taken from the 1989 Gus Van Sant film, Drugstore Cowboy. -- The band was formed in 1993 by Monteiro, Hunter and Chylinski. Shortly before the release of their first single "Alive" in 1994, Hunter was replaced by Daron Robinson. Soon after this, the band signed a major record deal with Go! Discs. -- A number of singles earned them 'Single Of The Week' awards, as Drugstore's rise continued. -- Drugstore came to nationwide prominence at the following year's Phoenix Festival, at which Monteiro took the stage in the national football strip of Brazil, followed by storming performances both at Reading and Glastonbury Festivals. Tours with Radiohead, Tindersticks, Jeff Buckley and The Jesus and Mary Chain followed. -- Following the sale of Go! Discs to PolyGram, the band released its second album, White Magic for Lovers on Roadrunner Records. A duet with Thom Yorke of Radiohead on the excellent single "El President" put the band firmly back in the spotlight. -- Another change of record label preceded their most intimate album to date, "Songs for the Jet Set", which sees the band in a subtler and yet more entrancing mood, released by GlobalWarming Records in 2001, followed by a compilation of extra tracks in 2002, Drugstore Collector Number One (compilation of b-sides and out-takes). -- Drugstore played at a protest in London which called for the extradition of the Chilean General Augusto Pinochet. Their song "El President", a duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke, is dedicated to former Chilean president Salvador Allende, who was ousted in a 1973 coup d'état in which Pinochet and the CIA played a key role. -- Drugstore's music has been featured on four film soundtracks. "Superglider", from the album Drugstore, is used on All Over Me and House of America, both released in 1997. "Fader", also from Drugstore, is featured on the credits of the 2000 film Cherry Falls. "Old Shoes", originally written and performed by Tom Waits from the album Step Right Up: The Songs of Tom Waits, is used in the 2004 film East of Sunset. The band's music was also featured throughout the BBC series This Life, whose music producer was Ricky Gervais. -- In 2002 the band went into a mysterious seven-year hiatus. -- They returned with a gig at Dingwalls, London, in September 2009.-- The mystery of the 7 missing years was candidly explained by Isabel Monteiro on her hert-open and compelling Blog: drugstore anatomy. -- On May 2010, the band played a sold-out gig, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London, on May, with a line-up feauturing long-time collaborator Peter Allinson on keyborads. -- In the summer of 2010 the band performed at Glastonbury Festival, for the charity 'Attitude is Everything' , at the Secret Garden Party Festival, in Huntingdon, and at CXSWest Festival, trying out a number of different drummers and guitarists. --- In October 2010 Drugstore signed a record deal with London based indie label RocketGirl, who previously released works by Robin Guthrie, Television Personalities, Low, Patti Smith, A Place to Bury Strangers and others. -- The band spent 3 weeks in January 2011, at a remote studio on an remote island on the western fringes of the river Thames, recording new material. - - The new album, Anatomy, was launched with a sold-out show at St Giles Church, in London. - - ANATOMY was released on sept 2011, delivering grey skies and deep waters, in an intimate collection of heartbroken songs.
