David Cronenberg's Wife is a London-based band who are often regarded as a key group in London's antifolk movement. Described as 'where genius meets idiocy' by BBC Radio 2's Mark Lamarr, the band's lyrics combine dark subject matter (anorexia, murder) with an off-kilter humour. They released their first single (I Couldn't Get Off') in 2007, followed up by two singles and their first album 'Bluebeard's Rooms'in 2008.

  • David Cronenberg's Wife is a London-based band who are often regarded as a key group in London's antifolk movement. Described as 'where genius meets idiocy' by BBC Radio 2's Mark Lamarr, the band's lyrics combine dark subject matter (anorexia, murder) with an off-kilter humour. They released their first single (I Couldn't Get Off') in 2007, followed up by two singles and their first album 'Bluebeard's Rooms'in 2008. The album was recorded by Simon Trought (formerly of Tompaulin, now of Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee) and Dot Allison guitarist Ian Button and was described in The Fly (magazine) as 'one of the albums of the year'. . Other reviews, however, were more critical of the album's dark subject matter and 'repugnant imagery'. Band members currently consist of singer & songwriter Tom Mayne, keyboard player and bassist Rhian Tucker, lead guitarist Mark Watts, drummer Stuart Saunderson, violin player and guitarist Thomas Alder and bassist Ian Button. In August 2008, Bluebeard's Rooms was Q Radio's QPM Album of the Week, and the band recorded a session for the programme, previewing new material on 22 August.
  • David Cronenberg's Wife est une idée originale du compositeur Tom Mayne né à Stockport. Ayant déménagé à Londres, poursuivant un passé confidentiel au nord de l'Angleterre, Mayne forma DCW à la fin 2002. Avec un entourage de musiciens pervers et des chansons drôles et dérangeantes, David Cronenberg's Wife est devenu un pilier de la scène Antifolk de Londres, avec Filthy Pedro, JJ Crash et Milk Kan. Le groupe est composé de Tom Mayne (guitare et voix), Stuart Saunderson (batterie), Thom Alder (violon) et Amy Boules (basse).
