David McComb & Adam Peters

Here I present the "I don't need you EP" ripped from vinyl with the following tracks :

1. I Don't Need You

2. Willie The Torch

3. Liberty and a thousand faces

4. I Don't Need You (Baker's Mix)

I heard an interview with Dave in which he claims Willie the torch should have been the A-side, and indeed that one is a killer track. I think I don't need you is rather mediocre (for Dave's standards).

http://rapidshare.com/files/51551373/DMC.rar

As a bonus I included in the rar-file the David McComb/Adam Peters track on the Leonard Cohen tribute "I'm your fan" : Don't go home with your hard-on.

The sixth song is a cover by Dave of the Johnny Cash classic Country boy, taken from the "'til things are brighter" compilation.

I think you have now got all Dave tracks that appear (only) on compilations, except for "Still alive and well" which can be found on the "Where joy kills sorrow" compilation. You can still buy that compilation here : www.wminc.com.au/shop.shtml. Just do that, and you will make mr. Graham Lee a happy man.

Triffids live in 2006 !

The original band members, of course without David McComb, came to the low lands for three concerts in June 2006. They played two concerts in Hasselt, Belgium (which I attended) and one in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The main guest singer was Mark Snarski, known from The Jackson code. Belgian Harald Vanherf, maybe known to some of you from The Hoodoo Club or Wicona Airbag, sang Lonely Stretch.

I have audio of these concerts but the sound quality of the Amsterdam concert is by far superior to the Hasselt ones. So here you find the Amsterdam concert of 26 June 2006. The Triffids played the following songs :

1. Too hot to move (vocal Graham Lee)
2. Trick of the light (vocal Graham Lee)
3. Place in the sun (vocal Alsy MacDonald)
4. Goodbye little boy (vocal Jill Birt)
5. Raining pleasure (vocal Jill Birt)
6. Jerdacuttup man (vocal Graham Lee)
7. Property is condemned (vocal Harald Vanherf)
8. Good fortune rose (vocal Jill Birt)
9. Go home Eddie (vocal Graham Lee)
10. Personal things (vocal Mark Snarski)
11. Life of crime (vocal Mark Snarski)
12. Lonely stretch (vocal Mark Snarski)
13. Stolen property (vocal Mark Snarski)
14. Tender is the night-the long fidelity (vocal Jill Birt)
15. Field of glass (vocal Mark Snarski)
16. Bury me deep in love (vocal Mark Snarski)
17. Once a day (vocal Graham Lee)
18. Stand up (vocal Graham Lee)

David McComb in Four Hours Sleep

In 1996, Dave participated in the Four Hours Sleep project which resulted in a CD called More of her. Apparently, only 600 copies were pressed on CD.

Here I present you the two songs in which Dave appears : This song can save you and When I first met you.

Triffids tapes

http://ausrock.blogspot.com/search?q=triffids

Go to the above site for copies of the dungeon tapes (i.e. dungeon tape and son of dungeon tape) and of jack brabham tape.

David McComb in Blackeyed Susans

David McComb has, outside of the Triffids, been active in many ways : solo (with the red ponies), with Adam Peters, in Four Hours Sleep, in Costar, in Blackeyed Susans.
With the latter he sung lead vocals on 4 songs, 3 of which appeared on their first EP "Some births are worse than murders" : Don't call yourself an angel, Enemy mine and Cripple Creek. These tracks can also be found on the CD Welcome Stranger, which combines the first 3 EP's and some extra tracks, including a version of In the pines with Dave on backing vocals.
On their first true album, All souls alive, he sang the Leonard Cohen/Phil Spector cover Memories.

Both Welcome Stranger and All souls alive are very good CD's in a whole, as are all the other Blackeyed Susans albums. You can still find them for sale if you search well on the internet.

Here you find the four Dave sung Blackeyed Susans tracks. Enjoy.

Triffids Werchter 5 July 1987

Twenty years ago, The Triffids played at the Torhout-Werchter festival in Belgium. I was there !
The last part of the concert was broadcasted on the radio and you can find that one here. Songs are : Stolen property (from Born Sandy Devotional), Ring of fire (Johnny Cash cover, never officially released by the Triffids), How could I help but love you (Aaron Neville cover, also to be found on the Stockholm live cd), Once a day (cover sung by "Evil" Graham Lee from In the pines) and Raining pleasure (from Raining pleasure).

There should be some live performances issued by Domino in the near future. I'm really looking forward to that.

The Colourfield - sorry + cruel circus

A forgotten classic is Virgins and Philistines by the Colourfield and very expensive if you want a copy on CD. This is one of my favorite records. Below you can find two tracks from the album. This should be re-released !
