David Devant was a magician in the Victorian era. Obviously this isn't by him though. This is by the indie band formed in the early nineties.
Known for their elaborate stage shows, which featured many props and onstage theatrics ably organised by the band's spectral roadies. They released their first album, the cassette only Don Spirit Specs Now! in 1993. This was followed by their first widely released album 1997's Work, Lovelife, Miscellaneous, and it was this collection that featured our track for today, Ginger.
Featuring a wonderful, driving, organ sound, it's a "tribute" to those born with red hair.
They followed it up with Shiney On The Inside in 1998, Power Words For Better Living in 2004 and The Lost World Of David Devant in 2008.
