Los Pacaminos was tormed in summer 1992, when UK pop star Paul Young's love of all things Tex-Mex led to exploratory discussions with some like-minded musician friends. Within a few weeks, Los Pacaminos was born and rehearsals had begun.
The band was originally a six-piece. Joining Paul were guitarist and singer Jamie Moses, accordion/keyboard player Matt Irving, singer/songwriter Drew Barfield, bassist Steve Greetham and drummer Mark Pinder. In November 1992, the boys took to the stage for their first ever gig at the White Horse in Richmond where they went down a storm.
Despite expectations that the band would fall apart when something more important came along, the exact opposite happened. With every show, their friendships grew stronger, the band played tighter, and the seeds of their loyal fanbase had been sown. In 1997, after five years of gigging, Jamie introduced Paul to Melvin Duffy, a pedal steel player he'd played with, and suggested Melvin play on a few songs at the next show. Paul remembers it well: "As soon as Mel took the first solo, we all melted. He had to be in the band, the decision wasn't his to make!" The boys lost their dear friend and founder member Matt Irving after a long battle with cancer. In 2015 Steve "Woody" Oakman stepped in as the band's accordionist a year later.
Los Pacaminos are now in their 30th year and show no signs of hanging up their boots as they continue to explore and perform the music of the Southwest.
