Listen to Capaldi’s Band, The Dreamboys (And Yes, They’re Good)!

Back in November of 2009, Peter Capaldi (prior to being cast as the Doctor, but with the same fashionable dress sense) appeared as a guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. For many of us, this was the first time we were introduced to the fact that, 25 years prior, both Capaldi and Ferguson were part of the same band — Capaldi as singer and Ferguson as drummer.

Capaldi claimed their band, The Dreamboys, was terrible, but Ferguson disagreed.

Since that time, however, the band’s 19080 EP has made its way to YouTube, and fans can now make up their own minds about the quality of the young Doctor’s crooning. Overall, there album has a dose of David Bowie, a splash of Morrissey, a healthy dusting of The Clash, all covered in a healthy glaze of reverb. Have a listen and see what you think.

Several of us here at Kasterborous enjoyed the band, but what do you think? Do you agree with Capaldi or Ferguson? Planning to add “Bella Lugosi’s Birthday” to your playlist? Most importantly, is it time Moffat considers a musical episode?
