Breed 77 (pronounced "Breed Seven-Seven") is a band whose music is a fusion of rock, metal and flamenco.
Breed 77 originated from Gibraltar (Map), an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Old school friends from Gibraltar; Paul Isola, Danny Felice, Stuart Cavilla met up in London and became informally known as the Gibraltarian Mafia. When, in late-April 1996, this circle of friends formed a band, they wanted a name to reflect their joint origins and called themselves simply Breed. The band were forced to change their name because it was previously registered by Steve Hewitt (Placebo) on his vanity record label. Stuart Cavilla, the band's bass player, had previously worked as a motorcycle courier under the call sign of Kilo 77 or K77, and the band became Breed 77.
