David Devant & His Spirit Wife

In an era where most Britpop stars have as much stage presence as a sack of wet compost, David Devant and his Spirit Wife's vaudevillean extravaganza is a rare delight. Utilising film, slides and a steady stream of DIY props, this sextet house their wry, glam-influenced pop in a multimedia assault on the senses. Think Ziggy Stardust via Vic Reeves' Big Night Out and you're halfway there. Their many fans include comedian Dave Gorman and Art Brut's Eddie Argos. DD&HSW are still performing their infectious 90s anthems 'Ginger' and 'Cookie', along with new material.
