Welcome to the El Fuego Web site!

We are United By Fate, and we come from Surrey. We play a variety of music, from rock to metal, and take influences from Muse, The Deftones, Santana, Nirvana and many more. Below are bios for each member of the band, giving you info on there particular influences.

The band is El Fuego and we are:

Michael Colman: Percussion, Jamming Room

Age: 16

Location: Streatham

Influences: Deftones, Pantera, Slayer

Gear: CB drums -22"bass, 14"snare, 12+13" toms, 16"floor tom, pearl cx300 hi hats 14'', zildjian zbt 16" crash, sabian solar 20" ride, meinl classics 18" crash

Fave Band: Deftones

Description: Mike has his own style of drumming, his main influence coming from Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham. He likes his beats, and he pretty good at them too. He likes a  bit of thrash metal, as well as a bit of everything that is loud, and uses a double bass pedal.

James Bernardo: Guitars, Web Master

Age:16

Location: Epsom Downs

Influences: Santana, Hendrix, Muse , Satriani

Gear: Marshall MG30RCD, Digitech RP200, Squire Stratocaster

Fave Band: Muse

Description: Lead and Rhythm guitarist James is a competent guitarist, whose main influence is the great man Santana. He likes his lead just as much as his rhythm, but is more akin to the cries and wails of Hendrix and Santana, than the groans and barks of metal.

Joe Hobson: Guitars

Age: 16

Location: Streatham

Influences: Nirvana, Nirvana, Nirvana

Gear: Epiphone Demon, Fender Champion 30W, Digitech RP200, Squire Stratocaster

Fave Band: Nirvana?

Description: Joe is also a competent guitarist, with slightly more experience than James. He is a keen widdler, in fact a jamming session does not go by were he doesn't have a good long widdle. His main influence is Kurt Cobain, who, though not as good as Santana of course, still caused great changes in the way of the guitar. Joe is  more of a detuned thunder maker, than a crying feeling man, and these differences between the guitarists give UBF their distinctive sound.

Alec Rodger: Bass

Age: 16

Location: Wallington

Influences: Rage against the Machine, Nirvana

Gear: Kramer Focus Bass, Peavey Minx 110, Zoom 708FX

Fave Band: Alkaline Trio

Description: Alec is the bassist of the group, and like all good bassists, he has eaten a fair amount of pies in his time. His main influences are again Nirvana, but he has more of a punk edge than the rest of the band, and is not unknown for sporting a crazy Mohican here and there. He likes his bass, he likes his pies, he's UBFs bassist.
