About Me


My name is Dave and I play guitar in an Auckland rock band called Miscreant, we have just recorded our debut album and will be releasing it in 2008. Music is a big part of my life and I will always be part of some kind of music project throughout my time. I'm a pretty easy going muso type bloke who enjoys a good laugh amongst boozy good times. I'm currently studying audio engineering at SAE.I was born and raised in Melbourne, and I now live in Auckland with my darling girlfriend Abby who I love to bits. I am enjoying my ride here in New Zealand in a kickass rock band, and have met and made lots of great new friends along the way, amongst many fun adventures!Poop on the haters, screen the drainers, and don't try to act normal when you can just be yourself. Cheers!Add me to your MSN or find me on Facebook which i seem to be using more lately.. [email protected]...
