Ad met Ed at school through a mutual friend to whom Ad had taught Wild Thing and who in turn had shown Ed the chords. They got on because they both liked the Beatles. It seems quite chancy till you realise that the chords to the Troggs classic are A-D-E-D! They vowed to call any future musical collaboration Dead in order that Orwell could humorously(?) be quoted at gigs (we are the dead!) Theirs is an off and on relationship that has endured for years. Unable to pursue the Wild Thing coincidences due to the limited chance of finding a drummer called G6 and Ed being, as it transpired temporarily, in Reading, Ad found Dave to drum. They got on because they both liked early Suede. When Ed returned, a new band was inevitable. Ed got on with Dave cause they both liked Morrissey and golf!. Around this time Ad had a dream that Dave drowned which was close to what actually happened in the Caribbean. The band somehow needed a name that meant something to all of them! After a while Dave Is Dead asked Bryn to join and contribute guitar stabs. He said yes and ended up contributing much more with the added bonus of lowering the average age of Dave Is Dead to 25!

When we go live with our national radio coverage the charts will be announced weekly! Unfortunately previous bands and artists will have to set up an new account from scratch but it is worth it!
