David Cronenberg's Wife

Music

After an undisclosed past in Stockport, songwriter Tom Mayne moved to London and formed David Cronenberg’s Wife in 2005.

He started David Cronenberg's Wife 'to sing about themes that haven't been much covered yet: loving an anorexic girl, the urge to jump in front of trains and women dying in child-birth...’

The degenerates that currently make up the band are Stuart Saunderson (drums), Thom Alder (violin), Mark Watts (guitar) and Rhian Tucker (keys/bass).

The songs range from the sweet to the disturbing: DCW’s strength lies in the fact you never quite sure what side you’re going to get.

Whether playing acoustic twisted lullabies or in-your-face electric hollers the lyrics catch you off guard with their openness, black humour and sometimes troubling themes;

DCW takes dark morally dubious story-telling to new lengths.

Often regarded as part of the ‘antifolk’ movement, Tom, along with songwriter Filthy Pedro, organise a once-a-season antifolk show at The 12 Bar, in London’s famous Denmark Street.

When asked about his interest in antifolk, Tom said, "Although these are the bits of life that interest me, I may not be welcomed in some places for singing about some of these things.

But antifolk embraces me with its dirty, deformed hands. Not having the full quota of fingers myself means that we're kind of like kindred spirits, though I don't really want to label what I do.

We'll play anywhere: punk clubs, country nights, blues bars, acoustic evenings - we've enough songs to fit the occasion."
