The band consists of Geordie Greep (vocals, guitar), Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (vocals, guitar), Cameron Picton (vocals, bass) and Morgan Simpson (drums).

Formation (2017-2018)
Prior to the formation of Black Midi, Geordie Greep was having seperate jam session with Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin and Morgan Simpson, all of whom were attending Brit School at the time. Greep and Kelvin in 2017, then at their final year at Brit School, decided to enlist Simpson to form a band, with Greep and Kelvin on guitar and vocals, and with Simpson on drums, under the name Black Midi, which is derived from the genre of electronic music from the same name. The group then enlisted Cameron Picton on bass guitar soon after, who also attended Brit School at the same time as them.

In June 8th 2018, the group released their debut single titled bmbmbm released on producer Dan Carey's record label Speedy Wunderground.

At the end of that same month, the group announced that they had recently signed onto Rough Trade Records. The group then released two singles in the months of March and April, Crows Perch and Talking Heads respectively. On the 14th of May, the group announced their debut album titled Schlagenheim, which was to be released June 21st of that year.
