Named after an obscure spaghetti Western and inspired by the Gossip and Bloc Party, Django, Kill! are the creation of post-punk/new wave revivalists Alexander Evans (vocals/guitar), James Latham (drums), Rowan Roberts (guitar), and Tom Ridgway (bass), who formed the band in Nantwick, England, in 2006. The group toured regionally before expanding to a national touring schedule in 2007; Django, Kill! continued to build a following in 2008, including a gig at the Surface Unsigned Festival in Manchester in April.
