Dave Dobbyn - Whaling

[skrubel]

God, NZ is a BORING shithole, full of equally boring and shitty people, who don't know how to speak the English language properly

[kiwikidzach]

[Grumblemarc]

Dave Dobbyn... been living overseas for 15 years and he ALWAYS reminds me of NZ. Fantastic musician.

@Grumblemarc 

[Jessi1e]

lol im related to him :P

[Bigfella1068]

Absolutely awesome, I've loved this song my whole life.I've almost never seen "cyclical breathing" like that before - he holds that last note for nearly 17 seconds.The way he nods his head to the band when he's just about finished - he could have kept going for as long as he wanted.He plays the guitar for the song like it's just nothing as well - what a talent. Awesome song and live performance of it.

[djackedinc]

When I was 15, I tried to sneak in to see Dave Dobyn at the Cave Rock Hotel in Christchurch, Sumner. So we sat up top of the Cave Rock and listened to Dave, Whaling. God Bless New Zealand...

[BigIronOnHipMan]

I live 15 minutes outside of NYC/USA and I wanna know W-H-E-N ~ DD SMASH and HELLO SAILOR and CROWDED HOUSE and OMC are coming with "THE DOWN UNDER~DOWN TOWN TOUR" to Manhattan NY America? .. Harry Lyon are you reading this, mate? .. BRING IT KIWI! .. Cheers, BCC!

[EclecticStranger]

this is the first time i'd seen him. i don't remember footrot flats..was to young back then to remember.

Rockwiz introduced me to him and god damn am i glad i watch this show.

He's a friggen brilliant artist

[Crossbow0106]

This is a great song by an artist that I only first heard of in 2007! This is a favorite, along with "Beside You", "Be Mine Tonight" and "Slice Of Heaven". Its a shame America doesn't know about him, he is better than 99% of the songwriters who mine the same territory.

[BigIronOnHipMan]

Crossbow ~ Amen to that!

[manemustaine]

much agreed mate. hes a super talented songwriter and musician and along with the finn brothers perhaps nzs most prolific song writers

[mihirmaiden18]

awesome song and artist. he looks kinda like a substitute teacher i had for one of my spanish classes in h/s. LOL!

[crudip]

Best voice in NZ

[cookiesone]

Neil Finn

[BigIronOnHipMan]

THE BRAZZ MAN ~ Graham Brazier is also right up there with Dave Dobbyn & Neil Finn. For my money ALL THREE blokes are tip top!

[mediakel]
