San Lorenzo

San Lorenzo formed in the Black Country after the breakup of their school band Fused. The group consisted of Elizabeth Hamblin (bass/vocals), Nick Stanley (drums) and Owen Tromans (guitar/vocals). In 1998 their first 7", Life Without Mountains/Polaroid, garnered praise from the weekly music press for its dynamic intensity and boy/girl vocals.
In 2000 San Lorenzo toured with Idlewild to promote their debut album, Nothing New Ever Works, which was supported by John Peel and Steve Lamacq's BBC radio shows. The band split in 2001, and a compilation of singles and unreleased tracks was posthumously released by Bearos Records the same year. San Lorenzo reconvened in 2004 to play several shows but no studio recordings were produced. In 2012 the band took to the stage for a one-off show as part of Gringo Records' 15th anniversary celebrations.
