About Me

God, I fucking HATE bios.....
OK. Here's the basic David Aurora FAQ:
- I play guitar and sing mainly but I also hack at a bunch of other instruments if given the chance (e.g. in the studio)
- I am not attractive enough to sell through sex appeal, and not smart enough to get a real job
- My shoe size is about a 10
- I have an insanely varied CD collection and due to that I don't really stick to any particular genre through albums/live sets
- My songs are about tonnes of different things cause I'm a typical nut-job writer who obsesses over everything and over analyses it all then pours it all out on a page. I don't write love songs, I don't buy books on writing hit songs and I don't restrict my writing just to not cause confusion for the bogan fuckwit at the back of the venue yelling Chisel requests (no disrespect to Cold Chisel of course)
Bios are always so fucking lame, boring and amazingly conceited and I just couldn't bring myself to make one up that sounds impressive. The point is the details don't matter. If you like the music, cool. If you want to ask me something, ask me. What is relevant information TO YOU?
Hope you connect with my stuff

The seconds evaporate

I've just been sitting around doing some writing for a couple hours. I don't really know if this piece will end up anywhere, but I'm enjoying the writing all the same. So far it's instrumental, with s...
