  • Bio

    Obvian is currently playing some quiet gigs in Melbourne with his electric guitar in tow, and for some reason keeps singing awkward songs about girls and time travel. Obvian is currently a one man project, with Nathan Davis providing vocals, guitar noises and Dad jokes. Nathan Davis, the man who claims about 10% of the time to be Obvian, also works as a freelance illustrator and pencil hamster.
  • Members

    Nathan Davis - Guitars, Vocals, Wishful Thinking
  • Influences

    Jeff Buckley, Art of Fighting, Augie March, Elbow, Something for Kate, Damien Rice, R.E.M., Big Heavy Stuff, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Camille, and any song where the band/artist doesn't have to announce their name at the start of it.
  • Sounds Like

    Obvian sounds like that feeling you get when you ask a girl you've liked for ages what she's doing tomorrow, you know, if she's not working for anything, and it's not like this means anything will happen at all, you really just would like to spend some time, get to know her, that sort of stuff and maybe throw in a bad joke or two to ease the tension, only to realise that someone wrote a rude word on your forehead while you were asleep. The best genre name that could be thought up was "Apologetic Indie".

    nathan - just saw the picture you did on Tim McMillan's site - how goregous!! You're so talented...i love your artwork so much (and your music too).  By the way - I came up with a boat idea yesterday and last night suddenly realised that it sort of ties in with the boat on your album cover - I'm sorry! I didn't steal the boat idea (or maybe i did, subliminally??!!) but it links us both together anyway - boats and streams.. hope you don't mind, i'll show you what i mean on Sunday. See you then!

Other Such Fluff

Obvian is currently playing some quiet gigs in Melbourne with his electric guitar in tow, and for some reason keeps singing awkward songs about girls and time travel. Obvian made the Eronauts EP, and promised a swift destruction to all who stood in his way.You can now by it at iTunes, or at an Obvian show.

Obvian is a one manchild band, born out of some grasp for sanity amongst part time jobs and university. This clearly has not worked.

Nathan Davis, the man who claims about 10% of the time to be Obvian, also works as a freelance illustrator and pencil hamster. Here's his online portfolio.
