Early history
In 1978 Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, later to become partners in Factory Records, built a band around the remnants of Fast Breeder: drummer Chris Joyce and guitarist Dave Rowbotham. Within days they added Reilly, guitarist for Manchester punk band Ed Banger and The Nosebleeds, as well as vocalist Phil Rainford, keyboardist Stephen Hopkins and bassist Tony Bowers.[1]
The band played at the Factory club (organised by their managers), and recorded two pieces for the first Factory Records release, the compilation A Factory Sample (a double 7 » also featuring Joy Division, John Dowie and Cabaret Voltaire). Just prior to recording a debut album, the group broke up after a dispute about Wilson and Erasmus’s choice of producer, Martin Hannett. Most of the other members apart from Reilly went on to form The Mothmen, and Joyce and Bowers later became members of Simply Red.
The Durutti Column effectively became Reilly’s solo project from then on - drummer Bruce Mitchell and other musicians have occasionally contributed to recordings and live performances, and Mitchell and Wilson managed the group throughout their career on Factory and for many years afterwards.
The band’s name is derived from a misspelling of the name Buenaventura Durruti, who led a column of anarchists during the Spanish Civil War (The Durruti Column). A 1967 Situationist International poster included the phrase « The Return of the Durutti Column », which eventually became the title of the group’s first album.

In his country he is known as "El Grande" and customers skitter as he stuffs his fat body through the record aisles. They say he's the largest Durutti Column fan in Mexico, possibly the world.

The Beyond the Loop gig at Kings Place is certainly the best concert I've ever been to. Redefinition of music in 90min. Oh, and the new album is a bomb ready to explode on everything Vini ever did.

Ok. So I was off by one year. I was going entirely by memory 30 years ago. I got their first record in '78 or '79. http://zzzone.net Despite that major correction, DC is still my favorite group.

optimistic_tour a écrit :
Yeah the Mercy themes feature prominently (and awesomely) in Domo Arigato as well. But just look at my last shout. still basically applies to you as well!
-
ativke a écrit :
Tehpaco, some of the "Mercy" themes that pop up on Amigos em Portugal were developed for a proposed album that was shelved for years (eventually released on the Lips That Would Kiss compilation); the material found its final form on Without Mercy and companion EP Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say ("A Little Mercy").

Tehpaco a écrit :
First time listening to him, started with Amigos em Portugal, love it. Whats next?

zzzoneDOTnet a écrit :
DC is my favorite all time group. I discovered them in about '77 when I bought their first LP "The Return of..." in a sandpaper jacket. http://zzzone.net
