Born and brought up in West Harrow, Davina Lee Cooke ("I like Foals, PJ Harvey, Nirvana and rabbits") assembled her band's line-up of Roald Madland (who, although first inspired to make music by an A-Ha cassette, formed his first band at the age of 10 to perform AC/DC covers), Angus Wilson (who used to write jingles for MTV) and Gareth Ashton (plays drums back-to-front) in East London in late 2007.
Sounding like a cross between the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pixies, B52s and PJ Harvey, missdavinalee reside snugly at the gorgeous musical intersection of warm-hearted, tail-wagging pop and darker, indie sub-punk without ever getting too serious about it all. The result is a compelling, memorable set of highly personable songs which will follow you round for days after you first hear them.
