About Me


DAVID VIRGIN: Songwriter, producer and psychadelic/folk underground punk veteran.
David Virgin, born in North Dublin 1962. By 16, with his band "The Broken Toys", he was playing at the legendary Grand Hotel and Garabaldis in the early Sydney punk scene '78 - '79. He then started working with Dan Rumour (later of the Cruel Sea), in the industrial noise band SPK, David composed, played bass live and recorded the first 4 singles with SPK ,as well as the "Auto-da-fe" album still only 16 or 17years old. Around the same time, Virgin & Rumour started the post punk psychadelic group Sekret Sekret in which they achieved 5 No1 positions in the Australian Independent charts. Sekret Sekret lasted 7 years and were the major influence for such bands as the Triffids, The Go - Betweens and the Church. You can find their song New King Jack on Tim Pittmans' "Tales Of The Australian Underground" double album. Sekret Sekret later became The Cruel Sea getting Tex Perkins on vocals. David spent the next 10 years in Europe playing extensively and recording. David has now recorded his 2nd album with Dan Rumour, the first was "Landlord Green" released in 1992. Their latest release titled "VIRGIN & RUMOUR" recorded Winter 2004 is a special coming together for these two elder statesmen of Australian Underground Music.
