David Devant and His Spirit Wife

David Devant and His Spirit Wife are an enduring force in the British indie and art rock landscape. Formed in Brighton in May 1992, the group drew inspiration for both their name and their theatrical sensibility from the legendary English magician David Devant. Fronted by Mikey Georgeson, the band quickly distinguished themselves for their eclectic soundscapes and their commitment to inventive, visually magnetic live shows. Their performances, fusing elements of alt-rock and magic theatre, have set them apart from contemporaries, with live moments that encourage fans to fully immerse themselves—sometimes even inviting audiences to “Don Spirit Specs Now!” as part of the spectacle.

David Devant and His Spirit Wife released their first full-length album, “Work, Lovelife, Miscellaneous”, in 1997, which included standout tracks such as “Ginger”, “This is for Real”, and “Parallel Universe”. Over the decades, their discography has grown to reflect their evolution, with releases including “Shiney on the Inside,” “The Lost World of David Devant and His Spirit Wife,” and, most recently, the album “Cut Out and Keep Me” from December 2019. Their music delivers a blend of wit, drama, and inventive pop hooks, earning them a loyal following in the UK’s live music scene and beyond.

Maintaining a reputation for dynamic concerts, David Devant and His Spirit Wife are set to headline at The Piper in Saint Leonards-on-Sea in May 2026.
