Ginger & the Sonic Circus is a collective of friends and musicians led by the Wildhearts' frontman Ginger (David Walls).
Ginger formed the band following the 2005 split of the Wildhearts with guitarist/ producer Jason Edwards (Wolfsbane) and Jon Poole (the Wildhearts/ Cardiacs), they were soon joined by Conny Bloom (Hanoi Rocks) and Vickie (Vix) Perks (We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It). The project was initially intended to be a one off, but all involved felt that it should be explored further following their first successful performance. They went on to headline the Gibson stage at the 2006 Download festival and did several dates in the United States and Japan as well as a couple of United Kingdom tours before 'the Wildhearts' eventually reformed, putting plans on hold.
