The Amigos band formed in 2005 and are currently based just outside north London in the U.K. The group evolved from the well loved show band 'The 3 Amigos' as a vehicle for the music of Singer/Songwriter Pedro Negro. Pedro is best known as a multi-instrumental session musician under the guise of Pierre Noir, primarily working with respected folk artist Rev Hammer on the Albums 'Bishop of Buffalo','Freeborn John' & 'Spitting Feathers'. The bands music has been heavily influenced by ecclectic festival sounds and ranges from Folk and blues, to Techno and Dub. Their first recording with the new line-up 'Brass-a -com' was completed in December 2005 at the Lodge Studios, Northampton and featured the vocal talent of Rah & Jah Nation for the first time, whose joint list of session credits including artists as diverse as Moby, Faithless, and french chanter legend Johnny Halliday.

The track 'D.E.A' Was picked from the recording for radio airplay in the Ukraine and ballad '26th & California' caught the attention of the Latin community in Chicago U.S.A, the city of the songs inspiration.

In 2006 the track 'Live from Deathrow' was re-mixed into a series of dubs by influental underground grime DJ Black Mass plastics of Dirty needles and the tracks were picked up for re-mastering at Alchemy in Soho pending wider distribution.

Noted for thier live performances, The Amigos are currently concentrating on writing and recording in preparation for touring later in 2006/07.
