RICHIE'S QUICK BIOG BY ROSE AND JILL
A native East Ender and naming his musical heroes as Lennon and McCartney Richie Wermerling came to the forefront of the British music scene as lead singer, song writer and sometimes producer of the sucessful 90s band Let Loose,Richie wrote CRAZY FOR YOU.which was a massie summer anthem,and sold nearly 600,000 copies.. More recently as songwriter, producer,singer and keyboardist for the band BOTTLEFLY.Richie is also an accomplished and respected writer and producer.
BOTTLEFLY
In 1997 the first steps were taken by Richie and Mark Arnell in creating the band that would later become Bottlefly. After a series of well attended London gigs the band were snapped up by Terry Lippmann as the keynote band in his newly formed TLC recording company and whisked off to the States. A tour followed and the guys self titled album was released by Universal Music in a flurry of excitement to welcoming reviews.
"Filtering classic British pop songwriting through an eclectic alternative-rock sensibility, the London quintet Bottlefly was founded in 1997 by vocalist Mark Arnell and keyboardist Richie Wermerling..... Bottlefly's eponymous self-titled debut album was released in 2000, finding the band augmenting their sound with touches of ska, psychedelia, R&B, and electronic dance music." ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
"Bottlefly's debut album is truly a melting pot that combines a lifetime of experiences unveiling its own carnival like universal canvas of "pet sounds", sinister clowns, drug dealers, silver clad dancing girls and even a lyrical nod to Academy Award winner Michael Caine"
"It sounds like Bottlefly has captured pop lightning in a jar'' The new BOTTLEFLY2 album, "Nine months of madness," is a collection of early demos, and is available From CDBABY.com.

FEETGAZER+ALBUMS
Richie spent much of last year doing what he does best and performing live with his new band Feetgazer at various venues in London. There are currently 3 cds available to purchase through the Feetgazer store, LOST , BEGIN AND BELIEVE. Additionally you can download the anthemic Beggars and Thieves from the same site for free. There look to be more gigs this year so don't forget to sign up for the mailing list.
FEETGAZER - London Dingwalls (25.04.07) Fronted by song writer Richie Wermerling (former lead singer / songwriter of the successful 90’s trio Let Loose) Feetgazer bring some much needed oomph to the evenings entertainment at Dingwalls. Feetgazer were not the headlining act but they should have been as they do what the other bands should have done - cranked up the volume, plugged in the electric's and delivered some uptempo melodies. Tonight’s show is Wermerling’s first gig for 12 years, he did a pretty good job getting used to being on-stage and in front of a crowd again. Performing tracks from his solo album ‘Lost’, his style has a variety of choice - rock, pop, mellow, upbeat. Being a sucker for anything that is anthemic and a little catchy, highlights include opening number ‘Wonderland’, ‘Brightside Of You’ and ‘She Rocks’. The audience seem suitable impressed by Wermerling and his new band - Jamie & Grant Spicer (guitars), Rob Lane (bass) and Marc Danecker (drums). Slowing the pace are ‘Smokescreens And Planes’ and ‘Beggars And Thieves’ while the uplifting ‘You & Me Against The World’ gets people swaying along. The sexy little rocker ‘Sexy Woman’ concludes the set. THIS NEW BAND COULD MAKE QUITE A MARK ON THE BRITISH POP/ROCK SCENE.......

LOST IS ALSO ON I TUNES... ALTHOUGH THE TRACK NAMES ARE MIXED UP.BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING SONGS..PLEASE.
REVIEWS OF LOST.
 As powerful and emotional as ever: Reviewer: Aron Kirk (Composer) www.sadnessuponsea.com  (click for website) I have immensely enjoyed the release of 'Lost' from the former Let Loose front man.The first thing that made my ears open was Richie's vocal,which remains as powerful,yet delicately emotional as it ever has done.for me personally,the record had a strangely haunting feel to it,which I think may have had a little to do with the same kind of mixed emotions that are apparent on the Let Loose albums 'Roller coaster' and of course the debut 'Let Loose' album. I will not say which tracks I favoured,as that is a matter of personal tastes,but what I will say is that as the album progressed,I realised I was listening to a genuine,and convincing batch of top notch songwriting,both lyrically and musically,and to top it all off,the album is beautifully produced and arranged. You may be asking the question.."Does it sound like Let Loose"?...well,yes in a way,but with a far more mature edge to it which made the album even more appealing to me. 'Lost' is Richie's first solo release,and I cant wait for the next instalment.
 really great to hear richie is still singing Reviewer: sarah brilliant writing from richie, good mix of songs cant wait for more brilliant stuff from him.

 FANTASTIC ALBUM! Highly reccomended to all music fans! Reviewer: Faye Thompson What can I say apart from WOW! Being a huge Let Loose fan I only discovered a few weeks ago that Richie had released a new album ... and I've not been disappointed. There's a fantastic start, middle and end to the album. It's so easy to get lost in the album (no pun intended) and is just so relaxing to listen too. Music fans in general wouldn't be disappointed with this.
