Garry David are a 4piece band from the inner west of Sydney. They were originally formed by bassist Stanley Claret (Whopping Big Naughty, The Shouties) and vocalist Bob Blunt (front person for Beijing Bikini & author of Blunt: A Biased History in Australian Rock published by Prowling Tiger Press 2001) in the summer of 2002. They have since released three albums - Australia’s Nelson Mandela (2002), Long Walk to Sodom (2009) and The Full Nelson (2017).
They have toured Brisbane, Lismore, Woy Woy, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra, Melbourne and also Hobart. Their guitarist Mike Corey (Diolene, Whopping Big Naughty) joined the band in 2007 whilst drummer Terrie Van Stee (Examplehead, The Baddies) joined the band as late as 2019.
Their original guitarist was John Fenton (Crow, Sweetlip, Hotness) until 2017 when replaced by Trent Modern (Holy Soul). They became a 4 piece post Covid in the early 2020’s.
Garry David have been described as an irreverent and entertaining live band that encapsulates the DIY ethic that all their record collections belie. Think The Fall, Venom P Stinger, The Saints and Pere Ubu. Or even better see them and just make up your own mind.
Supported by
Evadell - out there and not afraid to extend the barometer of safe expected sounds ..
Faking Clever - three piece band consisting of the Steele brothers who originally hail from Young, NSW. Devoted fans of some of Australia's finest bands - ie. The Triffids, Canberra's own The Plunderers and Whopping Big Naughty.
The Bright Shining Lies - a fine way to start what will be a great evening.
