Drugstore
is the band of Brazilian born Londoner Isabel Monteiro. The band formed in the early 90's and had two UK-Top 50-albums with «Drugstore» (1995) and «White Magic For Lovers» (1998). NME described Monteiro as combining «the vampish sexuality of Nico with the world-weary femme fatality of Marianne Faithful». After a third album Drugstore went on a seven-year hiatus. 2009 Monteiro reformed the band with new members, went back on stage and released the album «Anatomy» in 2011.

Do it!
«Wichita Lineman», written by the great Jimmy Webb and perfectly delivered by the wonderful Glen Campbell. It’s an understated melody filled by a lifetime of disappointments.
