About Me

Dave Formula is perhaps best know for his work with Magazine. Long regarded as one of the most significant British bands, U2's The Edge, Radiohead and Maximo Park have all acknowledged Magazine's influence. Morrissey covered "Song From Under The Floorboards in 2005, one of the band's most iconic numbers & Magazine's work has recently been re-mastered by Sean Magee of Abbey Road studios and re-issued by Virgin to high critical acclaim.Along with Magazine cohorts John McGeoch and Barry Adamson, Dave joined Steve Strange, Midge Ure, Billy Currie and Rusty Egan in Visage for two very successful albums before leaving to concentrate on Strongroom Studios which he founded in the mid 80's.More recently Dave has been playing with The Angel Brothers and is now concentrating on recording his first solo album which will feature some of the musicians Dave has worked with and admires.Dave's my space page is checked & updated by Dave himself.
