..i am the sometime-crazy, infamously wild, bass-playing dervish and co-founder of the British death rock art terrorists SEX GANG CHILDREN. I formed the group in January 1982 with Andi Sex Gang. I played on just about everything; wrote a lot of the 'hits' too. big gothic dance floor hits. things like 'MAURITIA MAYER', 'DIECHE' and 'SEBASTIANE'..........unfortunately, my battles with Andi have become legendary and so you may find my name removed from records or my name largely absent from the website; song writing credits too. time has not healed us.......... i also played with CHRISTIAN DEATH (1984) on their 'CATASTROPHE BALLET' world tour and therefore anything recorded in 1984 by them features me. i also played with MEPHISTO WALTZ (1992) on their german tour of that year. my own project; the CARCRASH INTERNATIONAL made one great album for Cleopatra Records called 'FRAGMENTS'.......... NO ONE plays the bass like me. there are better players of course but few as idiosyncratic. i play the bass like most play their wo/men.......... i like dark shit, velvet, rubber, lace on skin and drapes that don't ever let the sun in. i live under the house i inhabit in eagle rock. sort of.......... music is the soundtrack to my life, it is always playing, and i am always searching for something new. for some reason i always go back to industrial strength machine music, thats where i start; i'll groove on the sound of a jackhammer, or a little norwegian black metal; to balance that I like my quiet time too, a little night music. i'll switch on elgar when i am homesick; it reminds me of my home back in england. i am a welshman from london who has lived in the city without angels for 13 years. truly, i am in exile, baby... bury me in englands blackened clod but NOT before...! when i get a little homesick i might also liszten to sandy denny, fairport convention, maybe even jacque brel..........when i am not listening to music, i am writing. music, long poems, short stories...contemplating THE NOVEL. what a novel idea..........i work, of course, but i should be employed only as a bass player. why am i not? mmm, because i took a long five year rest from it thinking i could just do that and not suffer. that was a mistake. it hurt. too much. so i am back playing again. i have a new project; FEDERATION OF SORROW soon to be playing and recording sometime in 2007...I have also zapped an endorsement deal with WARWICK BASSES and now play a Black Vampyre Bass instead of my usual Rickenbacker 4001. I also play their Extreme 10.1 1000 Watt Amplifiers. i care about shit. i am the eternal humanist. there was a time when i didn't care about anything. if you don't believe in something you will fall for anything. once, i fell.but that was then.now, i am 5'9', aquarius, scorpio rising, astral man, man out of time...If you would like to read my writing on music heres a link to my page at GOTHIC MAGAZINE;http://www.schwarze-romantik.de/modules.php?name=ko lumnen&file=dave
