David Bridie - Kerosene

[treesinspace]

I only wish I had discovered David Bridie earlier.

I'm from Canada and I only heard about his music a bit ago. It's so beautiful to listen to. I could listen to it all the time.

Hey Mate

Look it up on google.. but the first album by "My Friend the Chocolate Cake" will blow you away. Buy it and listen. David Bridie was the man behind that band. "Not Drowning Waving" is also another really good band with Bridie involved. He did a cool album with Papua New Guinean native people at some point (in my youth).

Since I posted my post last year, I've listened to a lot more of David's music. I have some stuff by My Friend The Chocolate Cake and Not Drowning Waving as well. David's music is outstanding.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Dunno about this one - it is my favourite song from that album, but given that there is a story to that song which David Bridie has related at gigs, the quite different approach in the vidoe rubs up against what I imagine when I listen to the song.

Tell us more ...

Few years ago now, but I think it was something like this - he was on a trip out in the desert - spinifex country and was thinking about traditional burning of country and decided to try it out. Crackling spinifex and then suddenly out of no-where rangers appeared and had some words. That's my recollection of the story anyway.

Hey! Great story; sounds very Bridie - thoughtful ideas, challenged "traditionally"..

[L083S]

Arson? Thats so fricking uncool. Lock him up

[JezRG]

Ah yes, I am so very proud of this man.

This man also happens to be my uncle, brother to my dad, and one of my greatest role models.

[max5well]

this man is undoubtfully the most easy listening but still deep meaning full artist and its so disgusting that he is so unheard of i am too embarressed to come from australia sometimes

[fazerquest3]

Fantastic !!!!

[dantucker]

For sure!! It's wonderful!!

[Guitarphil]

This guy is indeed a genius. The most beautiful music that has ever graced my ears comes from him. It's hard to believe he is so unheard of outside Australia. I am indeed one of the privileged few from my country.

[Beyatchenator]

Hear hear!! - meaning and origin of this phrase....

...Originated in the British parliament in the 18th century as a contraction of 'hear him, hear him'!

[gosplash]

Well here we have proof that this man is the most underrated Australian musician that ever lived. 61views of this clip? Please. The man's a genius. I'm embarrassed to come from this country sometimes.
