Description
Mellow Drunk led by Leigh Gregory on vocals and guitar with co-founding member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Ricky Maymi and Stephen Scott Cavoretto (ex-Dora Flood). The rhythm section on this record is Daniel Dietrick (ex-Your Precious You) and Patrick Harte (ex-The Rosemarys).
A special highly limited edition (200) re-issue on 'cola bottle clear' vinyl for One Thousand Lights, the 2008 studio album acclaimed for it's exquisitely arranged melodic pop! The follow up album to the Ochre Records release Never Sleep At Night, remastered and released here in analog format for the first time. Featuring members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, White Sails and Dora Flood.
Mellow Drunk have drawn comparisons to The Church, The Only Ones and The Rain Parade (Steven Roback appears on the first album 'Always Be Drunk' singing harmony vocals), and a live review in the SF Weeklycompared the track 'Queen Of the Night' (from second album Never Sleep At Night) to classic David Bowie.
With the release of the debut album 'Always Be Drunk' in 2000, and the EP 'Everybody Knows You're a Star', Mellow Drunk quickly established themselves as "purveyors of finely arranged melodic pop songs", as well as becoming favourites on the West Coast club circuit. Supergrass, Luna, trashcan sinatras, The Church, The Clientele, The Morning After Girls, LILYSand Gorky's Zygotic Mynci have all had the band open for them when they've passed through San Francisco.
