Biography

Best known as the manic drummer behind garage/Psych outfit Strange Cages, Ellis-D spent 10 years flailing his limbs across the tattered kits of UK & Europe's basement scenes before starting out his solo project in 2021. After signing with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings, the ensuing 15 months saw him in an almost constant state of gigging, bringing his mercurial stage performances to venues across the UK & Europe,

Embodying the extravagance and glam-rock sensibilities of Marc Bolan and the New York Dolls with the lyrical sensibilities of The Smiths and Johnny Beth, Ellis-D creates something uniquely contradictory.

Two self-produced EPs later, the single 'Straightjacket Blues' signified a marked shift, as Ellis-D began exploring new territory with tinges of Krautrock, New Wave and Disco infused sound gaining airplay on Tom Robinson's Radio 6 show, along with support slots with Razorlight in Spring 2023.

Enjoyable Listens - The infamous duo of Luke Duffett and Jay savage built up a fearsome reputation live reputation across London in the last year, however the duo split after a number of sell out shows. Duffett is back and sounding better than ever.
