a.k.a. The Famous Sons
WHO IS DAVE SEXY? A character I created, an alter
ego, for amusement purposes only.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC? Odd but mildly commercial.
WHAT ARE YOUR RELEASES SO FAR? Glove, Chronology, Chair,
The Best of Dave Sexy volume 43
CAN YOU GIVE US A SHORT HISTORY OF YOUR BAND? I came, I
saw, I decided I could do that!
WHAT'S THE SUCCESS STORY SO FAR? The birth of my son, there
by proving I am sexy, [on the odd occasion]. Radio play, interviews,
the usual.
HAVE YOU PLAYED ANY IMPORTANT GIGS? Not with this band,
although I have supposed The Fall, Golden Earring, The Vapours,
Ruby Turner, Purple Hearts, and a few others
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE HIGH POINT OF YOUR CAREER? The
Golden Earring gig at an ice rink in The Hague, Holland to a crowd
of 15,000 people. Radio 1 airplay.
WHAT DO YOU THAT ABOUT THE CURRENT UK MUSIC SCENE AND DO YOU
THINK YOU WILL CHANGE IT'S FACE? Not a lot, I feel that I don’t
get access to stuff that I might like, where are the bargain bucket
heroes! And NO, I’d like to get the music scene out of it’s
face. Smash it up and start again. Too much money is involved in
1 or 2 acts. Hate ‘boy’ bands, hate ‘girl’ bands,
but are they bands at all?
WHICH BANDS INFLUENCE YOUR SOUND? Everything to a greater
or less degree. We could be here all day, the list is endless.
WHATS YOUR FAVE RECORD OF ALL TIME AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT?
Could be anything, ‘but . . that was then but this now’
by ABC, purely for fitting in the line ‘have another piece
of apple crumble’ in to another wise good song.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? Get married, have a
sex change. . . . ?
STRANGE BUT TRUE? All that glitters is not gold.
