The Durutti Column is an English post-punk band formed in 1978 in Manchester. The band is a project of guitarist and occasional pianist Vini Reilly who is often accompanied by Bruce Mitchell on drums and Keir Stewart on bass, keyboards and harmonica.
More or less, The Durutti Column is Reilly's solo project. Other musicians contribute to recordings and live performances as occasioned.
The first album, 1980's The Return of the Durutti Column was produced by Martin Hannett. Reilly: "...he more or less got sounds for me that no one else could understand that I wanted. And he understood that I wanted to play the electric guitar but I didn't want this horrible distorted, usual electric guitar sound and he managed to get that..."
"In the end, I don't know if it's good music or bad music or indifferent music. I have no idea. I don't really care too much, it's done with and over with. People would say, why do you release it anyway, if you don't really rate it? The answer is, whatever music it is, bad, good, indifferent, stupid, boring, whatever, – it's truthful... Truth can be painful. It's about losses close to me, and about my own depression, but it's cathartic..." — Vini Reilly
