Often hard to pin-down and wrongly bundled along their 90's contemporaries, Drugstore have always quietly stood away from the pack, led by exotic brazilian songwriter and bassist Isabel Monteiro. Had anyone actually thought about it, Drugstore should have been branded Alt-indie-country - as Isabel’s smoky vocals and pitch-dark lyrical subject matter, coupled with the band’s minimalist, melancholic guitar and string arrangements, stick them firmly in the lovelorn, caustic company of Low, Dusty in Memphis and Leonard Cohen.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Drugstore : Alive
(Lyrics Included)
This is Alive from Drugstore. The chords are easy and basic, but the rythm is just another thing... I tried to write it down as obvious as I could, but it's not the exact thing he (Daron) plays...but it's close :-) Listen to the number and try some variations...
Basic Chord Progression:
/ || C | C | F~7 | G7 || /
On the chorus play a basic G-chord ('Alive...').
|--0--------0------| |--0-h-1----1------| <--- Play this on C |--0--------0--0---| ('h' means hammer on) |--2--------2------| |--3--------3------| |------------------|
|--0--------0------| |--0-h-1----1--1---| <--- Play this on F~7 |--2--------2------| |--3--------3------| |------------------| |------------------|
|-----------1------| |--0---------------| <--- Play this on G7 |--0---0-----------| |--0---------------| |--2---------------| |--3---------------|
Lyrics (my best guess): -----------------------
Alive =====
I feel the time is coming I walk into the night I don't mind if the clock is turning I'm going to the other side
You either die or you keep on burning alive And I am burning
I walked along long distance I'm feeling sore inside I don't care if the sky is falling I never get to see the light
You either die or you keep on burning alive And I'm burning And I am burning
