Garry David

Garry David formed sometime 2001 in Sydney, because they'd had enough of carving up loungerooms in Datebait or My Johnson, pretending to be an X/Aus rock covers band, a bunch of party posers. It was then that they decided it was time to finally play their local, and do some songs of their own, naming the band after an infamous Melbourne guy who kept getting locked up, hence the title of their only recording, 'Australia's Nelson Mandela', produced by Sire Geoff Holmes (X, Ed Keupper, amongst many other things) at the Clubhouse in Glebe in the spring of 2002.Although, it's all been a bit of a headswirl, a little haphazard, downright lazy but proud, because we never really play, and haven't written a new song in god knows when, we're still about, in some sense or another; we're doing it when we can, last show Feb 2008, and when we practice we still seem to dig it:) much thanks going there to the Cad Factory, by the way, who give us an annual show when we are all on the same continent.John and Justin are still busy doing what they love most - John back on tubs for the reformed Crow (how sweet that is), and also hitting for King Pest from time to time. Justin can be seen and definitely heard in the eternal and grand Shouties, the very good Momo's, and the fucking fantastic Whopping Big Naughty. So if you can't see them with Dale and I, best you check out their other projects.
