PART GARAGE ROCK BAND, PART ACOUSTIC NIGHT HOSTS, ALL BRILLIANT!!!
El Kermito is the love child of Paul and Dave with occasional support of Mark (bass) and Pete (drums).
We dedicate our time roughly 50:50 into producing garage-rock anthems and chilled out acoustic numbers. Generally playing around the Halesowen, West Midlands area but make the occasional foray into the wider Midlands area.
Please feel free to come to our gigs but most of all make sure you catch DISTANT SIGNAL

freakouts. Ones to watch." The Guardian
"Like one of the Deal sisters in a cosmic deathray fight with Be Your Own

Well my Dad disappeared down a mineshaft and when I went down to investigate I did see a fearsome spectre, the monk of the cathedral loitering under a stalagtite, i got it on DC's camcorder. Also we were going into the graveyard for a spooky walk when some stoner dude came out from behind a wall and scared the shit out of me!
