Biography
Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias (also called the ‘Albertos’ by themselves and their fans) were a comedy rock band, formed in Manchester, England in 1972. Their story is told in the book When We Were Thin (published 2007 by Hotun Press). The name of the band is a corruption of the Latin American band Alberto y Los Trios Paraguayos. Created in 1972 by former member of Greasy Bear – Chris “C.P.” Lee and Jimmy Hibbert (vocals, bass) (ex Jacko Ogg and the Head People) and Bob Harding (vocals, guitar, bass), the comedy sketch outfit became a musical group in 1974 and was joined by former Greasy Bear (1968–1972) drummer Bruce Mitchell (drums), with Les Prior (vocals), Simon White (steel guitar, guitar), Tony Bowers (bass, guitar) and Ray “Mighty Mongo” Hughes (second drummer). They became a popular support act, supporting Hawkwind on their 1974 tour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_y_Lost_Trios_Paranoias
