Son of Adam? No, Daughter of Eve? No, Son of Dave? Yup

 I don’t know if anyone is aware of Son of Dave? I saw Benjamin Darvill AKA Son of Dave’s ”act” on Jules Holland not that long ago, well maybe six months or something and in the words of Spinal Tap, “It was goooood!” If you’ve ever seen that Scottish Folkster KT Tunstall doing her solo of “Black Horse And The Cherry Tree” with her live samples and loops providing the backing…..then you know the kind of thing Son of Dave is doing. A one man band and orchestra of blues, his performances are surreal and bring to mind David Lynch and Film Noir. His music on record doesn’t inspire as much as seeing what crazy sound he can create live. You guessed it… he’s in town (Newcastle, a kind of Industrial garden of Eden for those not in the know) at the Cluny Bar on Wednesday the 19th July. Click here for further details

I heard that he was once in that Crash Test Dummies Band who did the “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” song, if you don’t remember it, check out the lyrics here. For god’s sake don’t let that put you off!

“……Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm(repeat until insane)”
