(Dave Greenald)

I play the following instruments quite well: guitar, accordion, piano, harmonica, hand-drums.

But - possibly to the abject horror of the accomplished practitioner - I also have the audacity to play the following (and anything else I can lay my hands on) when recording: tenor horn, cello, balalaika, oud, violin, ocarina, mandolin, Celtic harp

Old Crazy Moon performed live during an open mic session at Telfords Warehouse, Chester, 2006. Don't forget to turn off the song on the main player if you want to listen to the videos!

Sounds LikeAlthough I like to think my stuff has originality, I have been compared to artists such as Nick Drake, Chris Rea, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, the Terem Quartet, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Dr John, J J Cale, Mark Lanegan - even David Bowie and both Cockers (Joe and Jarvis) ... but obviously I couldn't sound like all those people at once! Judge for yourself ... I'd like to hear what you think ... happy to add more to the list!

Some cdbaby reviews:

Anything in 5/4 pleases me, but I particularly like the simplicity, the ragged vocal, the somber loping waltz with an extra leg, and the wry storyline emerging from the imagery of the first song. I listen to it over and over, and keep returning for another hit of "Not Hercules". I would write a real review if I could be objective. Right now I am hooked. I haven't listened to any of the other songs because I'm still stuck on "Not Hercules". Help? Talk some sense to me. Am I nuts? What do you think? I think, "Good one, Dave!"
Cavett Hughes

The first time I heard David Greenald, I was floored. Listening to Not Hercules made me drop everything to listen a few more times before venturing to Mr. Greenalds other songs you see, I was captivated! The spell was cast and now I have been enjoying many of David Greenalds songs. Please be allured here as I am to one of the places where the ancients and the future meet with a rambunctious gypsy heart. Buy this cd!!! and go ahead, sing along with the different shades of shadows in the light.

Some Myspace comments:

Your music is brilliant I love it! I feel the same way right now as i did the first time i heard Cohen, Drake or Waits - I never thought I'd ever feel that again. IF ANYONE'S WATCHING THIS who can give this man anything he needs ... GIVE IT TO HIM!! I am utterly jaw-dropped :D Thanks for pointing me your way ... You're an inspiration and a reassurance that some people are still feeling it, AND recording it. Deadly

So glad I "dropped by" to be dazzled by Wild White Ocean. A trip. All the best - JZ
Joel Zifkin

Hey David, I just wanted to drop by and tell you that it is an absolute joy listening to your music. It's rare finding musicians this creative, honest, and true to the sweet sounds of music. You (and your friends) make some damned good music and I definitely want some more. EP's? LP's? CD's? ANYTHING!!!!?
Nicholas (I Live By The River)

The music is beautiful - it's classic and it makes me smile. I see we both write music in a variety of styles, very awesome. I love the instrumentation and the texture. very genuine. Thanks.. what a gift! ^^N
Nicole Fedanzo

I'm so absolutely impressed with Rapids ... WHERE or where can i find the lyrics for it? It's simply touching. Your voice matches the words perfectly. I'm listening to it for the third time in a row ...

Wild White Ocean's the shit! I think I want to actually spend some money to own it!

I absolutely love "Deadman's Creek". I downloaded it to my ipod and can't stop listening to it. You're a very talented fellow. Keep at it!
The Mnemonic Devices

I'm dancing to "Deadman's Creek" right now. I have the hand claps down. If I ever made a movie and it had a driving scene in it ... then I'd ask you if I could use this song because it would be perfect ...

Down low is beautiful. Your voice is gorgeous and goes straight to the big H chakra

Your songs went round and round through my soul for a week now. Your great expression in your voice just says it how it is, nothing is harder to explain but what happened in my soul. Keep it up and trust. DAVID GREENALD ROCKS DOWN DEEP! ; ) 1 of the 3 CGJungs

Words can hardly describe the amazing sounds of your music... but ill try with one word ... GENIUS. Love your music! It will be played loud and it will be played daily ...

Gatumusiken i Göteborg har belagts med förbud, så får det naturligtvis inte gå till! Jag lämnar in min protest i form av en visa som finns att lyssna på min sida, den heter "Göteborg Göteborg".
In och lyssna...ut och spela!

The Batcave





Jul 13 2009 6:44 PM

THE RETURN OF THE BAT Specimen will bring their special brand of glam mayhem, The Batcave to London again. After last year’s wildly-successful 25th anniversary Batcave event, The Batcave returns to its original spawning ground of London’s West End on Sunday July 19 for another night of blasphemy, lechery and blood. Specimen (Fresh from a fantastic show at Leipzig’s Waves Gotik festival), the original Batcave instigators will headline the lurid frolics at the Embassy Club, (29 Old Burlington St, London W1S3AP) Also on the bill are original Batcavers Sexbeat, with DJs Hamish and Cavey Nick, cavorting from decks to decadence with the usual brutal, trouser-dropping surprises & suitably confronting & barbaric entertainment. The 2009 Batcave will feature installations from exciting new artists of the ‘Dark London Underground’ and visuals from the upcoming ‘Welcome To The Batcave’ book, along with this year’s bitcrushed message from the creature in the Batcave Pram. All set in a spooky Bladerunner environment! So dress to kill … prepare for a thrill & Expect the unexpected! The Batcave will be open from 10pm till 3am. Tickets £15 available from www.ticketweb.co.uk and Resurrection Records. More info at www.specimenbatcave.net Miss it at your peril!

Hi!

Put together the first music video for one of the songs, that being for the song "Eel Marsh House", which is based on the movie "The Woman In Black". Wasn't sure to name it that instead of 'Eel Marsh..." ...Eel Marsh House being where the woman in black 'lived', and now haunts it. Though, she seems to haunt the general area of the village as well as the House. If anyone catches her gaze, looks into her eyes....a child will die, usually from the family of the person unfortunate to look at her. As you see what happens to the story's main character at the end.

Hope you like it, that's about all for now, Cheers! Rob

DAVID,

TAKE THE TIME, TO LISTEN TO YOUR HEART. TAKE THE TIME TO FEEL AND SAY THAT WHICH YOU REALLY WANT. MAKE IT CLEAR, MAKE IT MORE THAN REAL. STEP OUTSIDE YOUR OTHER SONGS, AND LISTEN AND HEAR. YOU HAVE THE SOUL FOR MUSIC. SROSE

Hey there,
Here's one from left field...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible.
Help to raise awareness.
Say have you checked out my web site (http://www.faberoptime.com) recently?
Take care and keep in touch.
Best,
Faber.
