About us

Bobbie Peru formed in January 2006 in Manchester. The lead singer relocated to the UK from the States to pursue a musical career. Progressing from his earlier solo acoustic soundscapes, Robert Genovese (Lead Vocal/Guitar) gathered a collection of local musical talents (Ding (PJ Harvey/The Fall) - Bass, David Evason - Drums) to form Bobbie Peru, and began to blow minds. They cook up a particularly demented stew with their ever-changing musical palette, which is an unpredictable mix of stabbing guitars, social commentary and a rhythm section coming through like a freight train. The result: some of the most dynamic, catchy and distinctive compositions which will infiltrate your mind and encompass your soul. Live they are a witches brew of destabilized rock and roll, randomness, style and raw energy, that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Their first album, "Social Suicide", was released in February 08 to great acclaim.This was quickly followed by 2 tours. Firstly round Europe supporting the legendary Black Francis and then around the UK supporting Mark E Smith's equally legendary The Fall. During time on the Black Francis tour the band had 2 of the shows recorded for a live album release later this year.

Currently Bobbie Peru are writing and recording a new album and playing a few shows over the summer months. At least one further tour is currently being planned for the band this year ....watch this space for details soon
