Anglo-American-Brazilian indie heroes Drugstore are one of very few mid-’90s bands that one does not recollect with a shudder of distaste. Occasionally brilliant on record, they were a consistently fantastic live act - and bassist/vocalist Isabel Monteiro was a peerless frontwoman.
Plagued by ill fortune and financial troubles, Drugstore dropped off the radar after 2001's Songs For The Jet Set.
"Drugstore went into hibernation and I fell into a music-free coma,” writes Isabel. Finding herself at rock bottom, Isabel ended up selling her music gear on Gumtree. "All that remained was a cheap 'n' nasty acoustic guitar," she says. "Which is the one you will hear on these demos."
