Origin

Breed 77 originates from the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. Old school Gibraltarian friends; 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 (from 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.
