HOW TO MAKE DAVEY. VOLUME ONE. IS OUT NOW VIA CHEERSQUAD RECORDS & TAPES
Happy 21st of December, or what the good folks at Cheersquad Records & Tapes like to call it, ‘Davey Day’. As a special gift, Davey Lane, has gotten together some of his favourite tunes and has recorded them all on his own, just for your aural pleasure. This is a digital only release and the last Cheersquad release for 2024. Enjoy! Take it away Davey….
“Covers albums by my most beloved artists are usually my least favourite. And yet, here I am, foisting one upon you, dear listener. I’m a self-taught musician, so for me recording covers was a great way of forensically pulling apart songs I love, finding out what makes them tick, and putting em back together. A science experiment, if you will. Almost exclusively these were recorded for my friend Jon Von Goes’ radio show, JVG Radio Method, on Melbourne community radio RRR.
This is also probably my first true “solo” album, funnily enough. Everything you hear is played, sung and mixed by myself, for better or worse! The one exception being synth on “Go Solo” by Tony Featherstone.
The new album of my own songs, “Finally, A Party Record”, is coming in the new year, but here is my Christmas gift to you – a Christmas album, with no Christmas songs. How To Make Davey. Volume One (coz there’ll be more)…”
