Alfonzo are a four piece band, from Portobello, Edinburgh. The currentline up has been together for the past three and a half years. The band ismade up of lead singer Danny, brothers Mikey (guitar) and Chris Cook (bass) and drummer Innes. Having all grown up close to each other and going to the same school the band have been best friends since they were kids this friendship is evident in their playing as they are one of the tightest bands you will see about. With great live sets becoming the norm for Alfonzo they caught the eye of Glasgow based label D Set Records, who decided to make them their first band on their label.

The band has been gigging successfully around Scotland with support slotswith the likes of Snow Patrol, Doves and Feeder and with festivalappearances at Wickerman festival who nominated Alfonzo as best live actfor the indy music awards 2008 and playing the main stage at Live @ LochLomond last year, so things look to be going very much in the rightdirection. With all the guys great love for rock and blues over the yearsit was time for them to go into the studio and put down their own stamp on the music scene. They have recently finished working on their debut album withaward winning producer Jim Sutherland (Aberfeldy). Their debut single “Peace” from the album “Stories Written for Today” should be out by early next year with a nation wide tour and album to follow.
