MR DERRY BIOGRAPHY
Winners of The Jack Daniels Set Unsigned 2008!
"Mr Derry are a bunch of very talented f***ing nutcases that you should definitely check out! James, MGMT
"My new favourite f***ing band!" -Juliette Lewis, Juliette and the Licks.

Mr Derry are an award-winning 5-peice band from Birmingham, England, who have carved a place for themselves on the UK live music circuit as one of the 'must-see' bands. They’ve just added to their list of accolades by winning the coveted JD Set Unsigned in April 2008. Mr Derry blew-away the competition judged by a panel of industry experts, and won £5000 of equipment in the process, to help take them to the next level in their blossoming career.
As an in-demand live spectacle, promoters regularly book Mr Derry to warm up for some of the UK's biggest and brightest bands such as, The Twang, The Holloways, Good Shoes and The Metro Riots, and even the hottest US acts such as Juliette and the Licks –who hand-picked them to support her at the 02 Dome, NY rockers The Mooney Suzuki, and the highly revered Soledad Brothers. Mr Derry are also booked for their own headlining shows and club nights all over the country.
Having all grown up in the same street together, these energetic kids from the midlands have known each other forever. With their army of dedicated fans, Mr Derry's status is that of one of Birmingham and the UK’s best and most exciting live bands. They also turn their musical hands to DJing, and have DJ’d aftershows for the likes of Primal Scream, Jet, The View, The Enemy, The Klaxons NME and Dirty Pretty Things.
Proven well worthy of their 'Ultimate Live Band of the Year' title, the band's fanatical fanbase of 'Derriers' follow them all over the country. If you get to see them live -you'll know why. Mr Derry achieved an early mile-stone in their career by being featured finalists on Channel 4's prestigious 'Road to V' competition, fending-off 6000 other bands in the process –barely six months since they formed. From this, national coverage was achieved in publications including NME, Nuts and The Big Issue.
The band played a prestigious ‘In The City’ showcase in Manchester, and a single deal with taste-maker record label Worst Case Scenario followed, on which Double A side Single 'Goodnight' and 'Beasts and Pearls' was released to heaped critical praise. Radio play came in form of XFM and Kerrang! Playlists and multiple spins from Colin Murray, Steve Lamacq, Huw Stevens and even Terry Wogan! Physical copies sold out in their local HMV, Birmingham and they reached 30 in the official indie charts.
Building on this success, more exuberant live dates followed, and after causing a riot at Pontins Holiday Resort –complete with fire and policemen, at an All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, the band were picked up by new management. Mr Derry are now looking for an appropriate record deal, fully supported by WCS Records.
Mr Derry will be playing a rawkus, foot-stomping sing-along ho-down near you soon ...look out for them.
