The David Donaghy Experience
Hello. Welcome to The David Donaghy Experience's Soundclickmaboble
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Wellll, it started in year 9 or 10 I think, when Rob, David and Charles wanted to use the music room for a bit of a jam, but for some reason Ms Faulkner assumed we were a band, or said we had to be a band to use it or something, so on impulse we told her that we were called the David Donaghy Experience. And so jammed as such.
A few jams later, David came up with a song, listed here as The DDE Song 1, he taught it to Rob and Charles and we played it at school, everyone loved it of course simply because it was David...
We then made a few more random songs, as our music talents progressed further. Somehow Martin ended up in the songs simply by being there at the time of recording, but makes a welcome addition to the band.
Fairly recently (2006 sometime) David found a proper singer called Jonathon (Jon) and invited him to come and join the band.
He accepted, and the David Donaghy Experience gained it's present lineup.
Sadly, Martin and Jon are going to Warwick university soon, so we'd better get a bloody move on and write some good stuff :)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Played some live gigs at school... Planning some pub gigs sometime in the near future. Playing in front of people is the best :D
Special moments... hmm well there was that time when basically everyone forgot how Last Train Home went so we were practically jamming it, and no-one noticed :D
Your musical influences
Many bands. All the ones we listen to.
Most prominent are pop/rock bands like The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, and Feeder
What equipment do you use?
the old but good gear we have in the shed
Anything else?
err yeah, it seems none of us have any fixed role in the band, its more a case of who wants to play / sing what. Just thought i'd Mention it
