Founding member, enigmatic front man, and THE voice of The Damned. The best crooner and shouter this side of the Carpathians. Dave's alter ego "Naz Nomad" fronted up The Nightmares in 1984 to do 60's Garage/Psych. He also has The Phantom Chords who work their voodoo on some haunting rockabilly.
Founding member, main madman and guitarist of The Damned. Captain began his Damned career as bassist for their first two albums. He took over on guitar in 1978 where he displayed gloriously blazing and beautiful guitar riffs, writing some of The Damned's best loved anthems. Just listen to Igniite, Looking At You, and the solo in Under The Floor Again to get a taste of his 6 String prowess.
Captain departed The Damned in 1984 to pursue a very successful solo career. He returned for various reunions before coming back permanantly in 1996 to MUCH love and hoorah from fans!
Captain also plays bass in his side project band Dead Men Walking which includes members of The Alarm, Stray Cats, and Spear Of Destiny.

Madcap keyoardist, Monty joined in 1996 and is a very welcomed addition to The Damned's sound. He'd previously been with Dr. Spacetoad and Captain's solo "Punk Floyd" Monty also has several solo tapes available and MP3's on the Official Damned site! He's brilliant and fits The Damned perfectly!
Monty Currently has 2 solo albums out as well!
Special thanks to Ulysses for the great pic of Monty!
. Pinch began pounding beats for The Damned in 1999 and was just the man they needed. Listen to Democracy or Lookin' For Some Action on Grave Disorder to get a jaw dropping sample of his talents. Pinch formerly drummed for English Dogs and Janus Stark.
Stu joined in 2004 when Patricia took maternity leave.
He previously played bass in English Dogs with Pinch.

The lovely raven haired mistress of the low end. Patricia became The Damned's bassist in 1996 and gives the boys a run for their money, becoming quite a driving force for the band.. She's also laid down the low end law for Legal Weapon, The Bags, Gun Club, Sisters of Mercy, and has a solo album "Reflect On This".
"Sharper and sweeter than any cat-o-nine tails whip"
Patricia took leave from The Damned after the birth of her daughter. Stu West is her replacement. although she occassionally stands in for her stand in. Being that she is Mrs. Vanian she's still very much a part of The Damned.
