The Del Fuegos

The Del Fuegos are an American 1980s garage-style rock band. Formed in 1980, the Boston-based band gained success in 1986 with their songs "Don't Run Wild" and "I Still Want You" and appearing in a widely seen television commercial for Miller Beer. The band's fans included Tom Petty, who appeared on one of the band's songs and featured them as an opening act on one of his tours. The Del Fuegos are named after the island of Tierra Del Fuego.

History The relationship between brothers Warren Zanes and Dan Zanes, then and now, has been described as being "fractious". Shortly after the band was dropped by Slash Records due to the commercial disappointment of their third album for the label, Warren left the band, as did Woody. After Dan and Tom recruited two replacement members, they released a fourth album with RCA Records. The band broke up within a year of the album's release. Dan later said of the group's demise, "The '80s were over, we were over." Their song "Backseat Nothing" plays over the end credits of Rescue Me in Season 4, Episode 1 from 2007. On June 23 and 24, 2011, the band played together for the first time in 21 years at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. These shows...
