Necromancy: Last July & DJ's Blacklight & Lee Smith

Initially formed as a two-piece, Alex & Dave played a number of gigs across the country, most notable of which was to a packed audience at the Resolution Hotel during Whitby Gothic Weekend in October 2009. In June 2010 they hosted and performed at their own mini-festival, Blackberry Fair in Cambridge, sharing the stage with notable bands such as Rhombus, Luxury Stranger and Screaming Banshee Aircrew.

The following month they released their debut E.P. Nothing Else But You, receiving favourable reviews and gaining airplay on Nightbreed Radio.
