Gomez has a 'Mind' for music

Britain's Gomez had about as good a start to their career as any band could hope for.

Right out of the gate, the group won the prestigious Mercury Prize, which is given to the best album from the U.K. and Ireland.

Of course, that's no guarantee of future success, as award winners such as M People and Klaxons can attest. Yet Gomez are still going strong after 15 years, touring in support of their latest album, "Whatever's On Your Mind."

amNewYork spoke with drummer Olly Peacock as the band kicked off their tour.
