Early Years.
Formed by Jacqui Vixen & Johnny Navarro in 2002 in east-London, the band has released three albums on their own label November Tenth Records. After touring constantly for four years with Elvis the drum machine the band has built a loyal following in the goth, punk and psychobilly scenes. Devilish Presley became the house band at the London club Dead and Buried, run by DJ Cavey Nik. The bands own Pity For Monsters promotion company was already putting on gigs in London in 2004 and after teaming up with Nik - forming Buried By Monsters - they were responsible for bringing many US and European deathrock bands to the UK for the first time. The band have since stopped their promotional activities, whilst Nik has carried on putting on shows under his own Dead & Buried banner.
