Los Pacaminos formed in mid-1992, when the UK based pop star Paul Young found himself with some down-time and phoned a few musician friends with the intent of starting a Tex-Mex band.

Originally a six-piece, guitarist Jamie Moses, accordionkeyboard player Matt Irving, songwriter Drew Barfield, bassist Steve Greetham and drummer Mark Pinder began rehearsals in that summer, and in November played their first gig at the White Horse pub in Richmond, Matt’s local watering-hole.

Fully expecting that the band would fall apart when something more important came along, instead the band played better and the friendship got tighter with each show.

The hats and the band name were there mainly to make it as clear as possible that it wasn’t a Paul Young show: yet as they started writing their own songs it became more more obvious that this wasn’t going to be a short-term project.
