Straight-up indie rock'n'roll with a hint of blues. A fast-paced bank getaway gone right. Picture the Kings of Leon in a fist-fight with The Kills, being cheered on by a husky Debbie Harry and you'll begin to get the picture...

Mr Derry are a 5-peice band from Birmingham, England, who have carved a place for themselves on the UK live music circuit as one of the 'must-see' bands.
As an in-demand live spectacle, promoters regularly book Mr Derry to warm up for some of the UK's biggest and brightest bands such as, The Twang, The Holloways, Good Shoes and The Metro Riots, and even the hottest US acts such as Juliette and the Licks, NY rockers The Mooney Suzuki, and the highly revered Soledad Brothers. As well as booking Mr Derry for their own headlining shows and club nights all over the country.
Having all grown up in the same street together, these energetic kids from the midlands have known each other forever. With their army of dedicated fans, Mr Derry's status is that of one of Birmingham's best and most exciting bands.
Proven well worthy of their 'Ultimate Live Band of the Year' title, the band's fanatical fanbase of 'Derriers' follow them all over the country. If you get to see them live -you'll know why. Mr Derry recently achieved a mile-stone in their career by being featured finalists on Channel 4's prestigious 'Road to V' competition, fending-off 6000 other bands in the process. From this coverage was also achieved in major publications including NME, Nuts and The Big Issue.
A single deal with taste-maker record label Worst Case Scenario followed, on which Double A side Single 'Goodnight' and 'Beasts and Pearls' was released to heaped critical praise, physical copies sold out in their local HMV, Birmingham.
Building on this success, more exuberant live dates followed, and the band were picked up by new management and are currently being represented by a reputable UK booking agency.
Road to V
The bands biggest achievment to date was being selected out of 6000 bands as finalists in the 2006 Road to V competition. The band appeared on Channel 4, in several major magazines (NME, NUTS & THE BIG ISSUE) and local and national radio (most of note - TERRY WOGAN'S Radio 2 show...now thats Rock n Roll!)
Mr Derry will be playing a rawkus, foot-stomping sing-along ho-down near you soon ...look out for them.
