We are coming back to the Northern Hemisphere to celebrate the album that  has become known as Dave’s finest hour as a vocalist and our best as a band. Not everyone agrees of course but there is certainly something very special about Born Sandy Devotional. If there was ever a bunch of songs capable […]

Tell your friends. Anyone with specific information about this gig please get in touch with us.

Some new audio for you. I have posted the first part of a live show (I think it’s the Shaftesbury Hotel in 1982 or 1983 but if anyone knows for certain get in touch). The recording is pretty good and the show was sold on a cassette on the Lock Up Your Cats tour. The […]

An interview conducted mostly by Pat Monaghan with Dave, Marty, Alsy and Rob in what must have been a hot smelly Happy Wheels parked outside the Shaftesbury Hotel in early January 1983. It really gives a great insight into a pivotal point in the existence of The Triffids.

I have posted a number of snippets of spoken word from Dave, Alsy and Marty taken from various interviews. I was asked to compile such things some time back by Domino for a podcast that never actually got made so it’s time the hours spent doing so come to something meaningful. No criticism of Domino […]

I just posted a few scraps of paper with very important musical things written on them, mostly in Dave’s hand. In the “text scans” image album. Also a bit of Perth radio from the Calenture period. Dave’s friend Pat Monaghan had a radio show on 6UVS FM in Perth and he sent me a cassette […]

We are indebted to Julian Wu for many things, not least for recording Dave’s band costar in 1996. Here’s Everything Fixed Is Killed. It really is a spine-chilling 7.5 minutes of genius from the tentatively titled but unreleased Bootleg EP. Unreleased but heard by many, just like a real bootleg come to think of it. […]

Kneel So Low a 1996 David McComb demo. This was done before the costar recording and is hard evidence of the quality of David’s later songs. A bit of recycling going on here. Sound quality slightly dodgy but source material is cassette recording done on a ghetto blaster. Under new “David McComb” audio category. And […]

The second significant day in February rolls around, Dave’s birthday. In my case spent doing the usual weekend business on a very hot day in Melbourne and sorting my way through a few audio files looking for something to add to the website. Two new audio tracks – Paradise from Tape 4 (under The Triffids), […]
