Banderas

British duo with vocalist Caroline Buckley and violinist/keyboardist Sally Herbert. Produced by Stephen Hague. Their one and only album, "Ripe", did not do well in Europe and was even less successful Stateside, despite collaborations from Jimmy Somerville, guitarist Johnny Marr, and New Order's Bernard Sumner. Perhaps its failure was due to consumer confusion; is Banderas a Spanish-language punk band, or a bizarre Sinead O'Connor side project? (The duo sported shaved heads). Two singles were released from the album, but they never released a second.
