The British pop band
Mexico 70 was led by singer/guitarist
Mick Bund, a onetime member of
Felt. Rounded out by lead guitarist Mark Barrett, bassist Guido Mullingan, and drummer Rick Duce, the group signed to the Cherry Red label, releasing a pair of EPs which were later compiled on their first LP, The Dust Has Come to Stay. A second album, Sing When You're Winning, appeared only in Spain;
Mexico 70 then signed with the American indie label Big Pop to release 1997's Imperial Comet Hour. ~ Jason Ankeny
