BONGO BEAT RELEASES NEW DAVE RAVE CD

Mar. 26th, 2001 Vancouver, BC

"There are usually only three sides to Love; beginning, middle, and end. From The Shakers to Teenage Head to The Dave Rave Conspiracy to Agnelli-Rave, there's never been a year without a Dave Rave record. As examined by Dave and guitarist Mark McCarron, here is Love in all its phases. Happy or sad, the ending is always a beginning to something new. This CD is jazzy, sparse, acoustic, and understated; a sweet breeze in the middle of the night when all you have is wishes, dreams, and heaven's stars to guide you. I liked this record so much that I am releasing it on my own Bongo Beat label. Dave is one of Canada's greatest treasures." -- Ralph Alfonso Dave Rave (aka David DesRoches) is a musician's musician. To the general public, he is the manic Teenage Head rhythm guitarist who replaced Frankie Venom as lead singer and catapulted the band back on the charts; but musicians know him as a valued session player (Alex Chilton, Steve Wynn, Ralph, Dan Lanois, Andrew Loog Oldham, Tim Gibbons, and countless others) who can play the best version of a song he hasn't heard yet. Jazz guitarist Mark McCarron has worked with such notables as Ed Bickert, Don Thompson, Jack McDuff, and the Mingus Five Guitar Band, in addition to studying with Bob Brookmeyer and others. Originally from the Maritimes, Mark lives in New York and is involved with such Broadway shows as SWING, and RENT.
