my interview on roy christopher dot com

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Last summer I enjoyed Mexican food and beers while Roy Christopher threw some questions at me.

As Roy writes “Dave’s ideas about the state of the [...]

gang of four, second life version deux

Friday, January 25th, 2008

“I’m in a boozer where they’re drinking fast, I’m in a movie with the middle class”

gang of four to play sasquatch festival and another new demo

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Smooth Flow (the in-crowd will get that)
A blogger at the Seattle Post Intelligencer suggests that Gang of Four is playing at this year’s Sasquatch Festival - sounds like fun, I go every year anyway so why not play? Meanwhile here’s a MP3 of a new cut from last week’s studio sessions - no vocals from [...]

emi, new gang of four album, radiohead, london, media punditry

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Music makes us roll in herds….
There is quite some irony that I’m in London this week during the EMI Records media firestorm. After all, Gang of Four and the much-touted Radiohead were both on EMI Records and are both now beyond contracts with the label. This week EMI’s new owner, Guy Hands, decided to let [...]
