NAEVUS
Naevus was formed in London in 1998 by Lloyd James and Joanne Owen. With their first two albums (Truffles of Love in 1999 and Soil in 2001), Naevus found themselves welcomed into the heart of the burgeoning post-industrial scene, while their third album, Behaviour (2002), marked a turning point in the band’s sound and paved the way for the classic albums which followed it (2004’s Perfection is a Process and 2007’s Silent Life). The group’s most recent album, Relatively Close to the Sea, was released by Hau Ruck! In 2008.
The group’s sound has been described as “the Wire of the dark folk scene” and “what Swans would sound like if they were English”, but there is much more to the group than this; their distinctive lyrics and modernist approach set Naevus clearly apart from their contemporaries. Fresh from performing at a sell-out festival in Rome, this gig will see the four-piece version of Naevus performing live favourites like ‘Hasty Bastard’ and ‘The Body Speaks in Tongues’, alongside new tracks from the forthcoming ‘Days That Go’ EP.

DAVID E.WILLIAMS
Though he's dabbled in neo-Weimar cabaret, abrasive electronics and even film scores, David E. Williams is best known for electro-symphonic pop and a lyrical humor so dark that it's not really funny. Some might call it gallows humor, but "gas chamber humor" is a bit more accurate for his love songs rife with murder, abuse and obscure references to eating. Williams has been described as "Barry Manilow's evil twin" (Jim Knipfel, NY Press), "Liberace with a brain tumor" (Michael Moynihan, Blood Axis) and "Andrew Lloyd Webber in the final stages of cerebral cancer" (Headpress, U.K.).

TONY WAKEFORD
Co-founder of Crisis and Death in June in the late 70s and early 80s Wakeford has always been the primary force in Sol Invictus. He has also composedd Classical music whilst recording outside the framework of Sol Invictus. He has subsequently brought transformative concepts into the familiar terrain of his principle group. He formed L'Orchestre Noir in the mid-1990s to explore classical and soundtrack composition. He also played bass, guitar and keyboards on a number of studio albums by Current 93 as well as playing with them live.

JEROME DEPPE
Jerome Deppe is a painter, photographer and songwriter residing in Baltimore Maryland. Well traveled and no stranger to controversy, Jerome has been a fixture on the avant-garde music scene since the early 1980s. An alumnus of the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC Jerome has been involved in the proliferation of cutting edge imagery and is a vociferous proponent of free speech and free cultural expression. With the creation of his multi media creation of pathos and despair "Showtunes for the Damned", Jerome has again crossed over boundaries and forged a new method of artistic expression.
