Bobbie Peru were created in January 2006. The lead singer/guitarist
relocated to the UK from Atlanta, Georgia to continue his musical
career with Storm Records as a recording artist with Adom. After three
successful European/American tours, and album release (Idiot Savant)
the band split due to creative differences. Bert (Lead Vocal/Guitarist)
then gathered a collection of local musical talents (Ding - Bass (PJ
Harvey/The Fall/Frank Black) and Dr.E - Drums) to form Bobbie Peru, and
began to blow minds. They cook up a particularly demented stew with
their ever-changing musical palette, which is an unpredictable mix of
stabbing guitars, social commentary and a rhythm section coming through
like a freight train. The result: some of the most dynamic, catchy and
distinctive compositions that will infiltrate your mind and encompass
your soul. Live they are a witches brew of destabilized rock and roll,
randomness, style and raw energy, that will leave you breathless and
begging for more.
Their debut album release 'Social Suicide' followed the SOLD OUT Single
‘1971’.
