Drugstore are a London-based alternative and dream pop band, led by Brazilian singer-songwriter and bassist Isabel Monteiro (born 9 September 1965, São Paulo, Brazil), formed with Dave Hunter (later replaced by Daron Robinson) on guitar and Mike Chylinski on drums.
[3][4] The following year Hunter was replaced by Daron Robinson, and after only a handful of gigs, the band signed a major record deal with Go!
The following three years were spent touring with Radiohead, Tindersticks, Jeff Buckley and The Jesus and Mary Chain, and playing at festivals such as Reading and Glastonbury.
[7] Drugstore Collector Number One, a compilation of b-sides and outtakes, intended initially as a fan-only recording, was subsequently released commercially by the label in 2002.
In October 2010, Drugstore signed a one-off recording contract with the London-based indie label Rocket Girl, and in 2011 the band's fourth album, Anatomy, was released.
In early 2015, Isabel Monteiro moved to her hometown of São Paulo, Brazil, and with the help of local musicians, performed a string of selected dates.
