Del Amitri – Tell Her This

Biography
Early rehearsals in Justin’s parents house were followed by a move to secret rehearsal space behind some storage cartons in the basement of Glasgow Art Centre (now defunct). Later on the band secured official rehearsal space at the Art Centre in a proper room with a cupboard to keep their gear in. Postcard Record signing and future megastars Aztec Camera rehearsed in the room next door. At this time Paul Tyagi (drums) joined the band as its first drummer. The first recorded Del Amitri track “What she Calls it” was the B side of a flexi-disc given away free with Stand and Deliver fanzine - the A side was given to another future Glasgow megaband The Bluebells. Unable to read music, early Del tracks were arranged and remembered according to ‘bits’ named after musical influences that included from Genesis, Captain Beefheart and Orange Juice.

They are one of those rare bands who made albums where every song is good. Their debut eponymously named album is a vibrant yet delicate collection of great songs.

How very sad that the throwaway "Roll to me" is by far the most played song by this finest of bands. [3]

Waking Hours probably my most favourite album

Not got anything against Roll To Me but it should not be the track that people know this class act by, certainly not a true reflection of the band. Everyone should own Change Everything, though I quite like it being an unknown classic album.

Yeah, how is it possible that their only real hit is their most listened to song?

DEl Amitri ..One of thee best Live bands ever...I got to see them live five times, the last in 2003, But i have seen Justin Currie a further four times and he just gets better and better. "What is love for" and "The Great War" are fantastic Albums. I have just booked tickets to see Justin again on January 31st 2011 at Wolverhampton.. Who's a happy Bunny then !!

Del Amitri are my all time fav band, J.C.'s ironic sardonic lyrics cut deep. After all boys & girls, "Love disappears like spit in the rain".
