Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip (Dan Stephens and David Meads respectively) is a collaboration between Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip, both originally hailing from Stanford-le-Hope in Essex. The duo are most well-known for the 2007 song "Thou Shalt Always Kill". The name "Scroobius Pip" is an intentional misspelling of the Edward Lear poem, "The Scroobious Pip". [ [http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/pw/pip.html] ]

Scroobius Pip attended St Thomas More High School for Boys in Westcliff, Essex and was brought up in and around Southend-on-Sea.

During 2007 they undertook a full UK tour, and appeared at the Glastonbury Festival, Reading and Leeds Festival, Bestival and Supporting RJD2 at the Scala in London. They headlined the Scala in September, and performed at Coachella

The duo undertook a three-date mini-tour in July 2008, performing in London, Manchester and Glasgow. The shows were presented as 'motivational seminars', using four forms of motivation—Love, Lessons, Storytelling and Religion—to link their songs throughout the show [ [http://lesacvspip.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/a-flyerhow-exciting/ lesacvspip.com] ] . The duo ended each gig with covers of the Sugababes' 2005 song Push The Button and Prince's 1991 track Cream

In 2008 the duo will be at the Monolith Festival and Bestival again in September 2008. They recently played Reading and Leeds Festival in August 2008.

They have also appeared on the BBC's new music show SOUND [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/sound/shows/show25/video/] ] , and Scroobius Pip has interviewed and performed live on Stephen Merchant's show on BBC 6 Music.

A spoof video posted on You Tube shows the pair auditioning for The X Factor in front of Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh. A montage of clips of judges' comments are added to their profanity-laden performance of what Scroobius Pip says is "It Ain't No Fun" by Snoop Dogg, featuring Warren G, Nate Dogg and Kurupt." The clip, titled "Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip Look For The X-Factor", was featured in "The 10 Best Clips of the Month" in the October 2008 edition of Q.
