ELLiS·D

The brainchild of drummer-turned-solo musician Ellis Dickson, ELLiS·D has garnered a growing reputation in the past 12 months for a tireless touring schedule and increasingly electric live shows, recently described as “one of the most exhilarating live sets I’ve seen in months.” by Far Out Magazine.

Backed by continuously shifting set of Brighton musicians - in addition to playing drums across the world with Fat Dog and Johnny Borrell’s Jealous Nostril project - his solo show has performed with the likes of Razorlight (at Brighton Dome and Eventim Apollo) The Goa Express, Flip Top Head, Melts, Plantoid, Vinyl Williams, Youth Sector and The DSM IV.

Across 2023’s ‘Hullo, Reality’ EP, and a string of singles across last year , all released via celebrated boutique Brighton label Crafting Room Recordings (Ideal Living, SoftTop) Dickson has won radio airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, New Music FixEmily Pilbeam, Tom Robinson) and John Kennedy (Radio X), as well as backing from across the UK indie press outlets. ELLiS·D has also reached the longlists for Green Man Rising and Glastonbury Emerging Talent competitions, this year and last, respectively - performing his biggest festival slot to date at the Tim Burgess-curated stage at Kendal Calling last Summer.
