Django Django

Edinburgh College of Art

Django Django met at Edinburgh College of Art and formed in 2009, settling in London. The band has said its name has absolutely nothing to do with Django Reinhardt. David Maclean plays drums and produces, Vincent Neff sings and plays guitar, and sources disagree on the bassist's name, giving both Jimmy Dixon and Jim Nixon. Their records are on Because Music, with Ribbon Music handling the US from 2012.

Their debut Django Django (January 30, 2012, 48:30) was produced by the band and recorded in 2011, and they told Clash it took about two years to make. Metacritic gave 80; The Guardian's Michael Hann wrote that surely this debut won't be topped in 2012, and Rolling Stone ranked it 26th of the year, calling Maclean the MVP, building trippy tracks around indelible grooves. Setlist.fm lists 1,988 attendances at their shows, the latest in Hamburg on September 18, 2026.
