Davide has formed The Black Ships with Nick McCabe and Simon Jones (both of whom you may know from The Verve) and Mig Schillace, erstwhile drummer for Portishead.

The Black Ships make their live debut at London’s King’s College Music Union on June 2nd 2011. Click here for tickets – and check out the video below for a preview of their music.
