Happy Holidays! Or Vacation Time! Or time to wear silly sweaters and see movies with lots of CGI! Well however you spend your years end I hope you enjoy yourselves. And hey! If you fancy it, feel free to join me for some dancey fun times too! Excited to be playing this Friday for the first time in Golden BC, then Boxing Day in Calgary AB, and finally, drum roll please, NYE at Rhythm and Alps Festival in New Zealand! If you miss these ones, worry not, its only a quick run of shows to end the year, and then there are..... "plans" mwahaha.... More on that in due time. Hope to see you soon regardless and thanks so much for the awesome year. Cheers!

I love stats!... so here you go: Since May long weekend the total amount of kilometers driven by LWSD to come rave with you is.... (drum roll please).... 32,021 km! Which is approximately 80% of the distance around the circumference of the planet.... Yes. I'm crazy like that, but damn did I ever have some of the best times of my life. Great Success! Thanks so much to everyone at Fozzy Fest for a fantastic ending to the whole thing, and to everyone at all the stops in-between. Now to hermit out for a while and get to finishing the next record! Sorry for the delay, but that much driving equals very little time in your studio zone to finish stuff... In the cliche words of unimaginative peoples year book signings "Hope you all had a great summer" Ha! More soon. Thanks all.

Off to my last festival of the season this weekend at Fozzy Fest! Looking forward to it! A really fantastic season of these amazing gatherings this year. Super fun times all around. Also, if you missed it, check out this fun interview I did with the fine people at Spliff Breaks at Basscoast earlier this year. Thanks for having me on the show guys. Hope your all well. Thanks for caring about my music in any way shape or form. Cheers.

Well, its been one hell of a summer. Thank you so much to everyone that attended, participated, organized and threw all the amazing festivities I have had the great pleasure of playing and enjoying myself at. Seriously some amazing times. There are a coupe left for LWSD this season and then its fall/winter studio/nerd time. Catch me at Beaverfest this weekend, Aurora Innovative Arts Festival the weekend after and then finally at FozzyFest. After that, there "may" be an odd appearance but not much else until New Years in New Zealand for Rhythm and Alps ! I know many of you have been asking, "Dave, where's the new music releases?" Well, that, I'm afraid, entails not driving half way around the world every weekend. Needs me my studio time! So catch me at one of these shows if you wanna rock out once more this year, and then I shall be keeping you posted on the upcoming musics. My sincere love and thanks to you all! Godspeed.

YES! My utmost thanks to Shambhala Music Festival yet again for providing such a perfect looking and sounding environment full of the best kinds of people. Such killer vibes this year and some of my favorite sets from friends and new favorites that I've ever encountered at the festival in general. Thanks so much for having me and for providing the perfect environment to do my various rave experiments and performances. I really felt connected this year and had such a blast playing. Also, extreme appreciation to everyone that stayed up late with me on Thursday to check out the show. Did you get one of the hand made 101 swords? (They were really fun to make btw) If so, I've been having a hilarious time finding out stories of who got which one etc. Do you have some connection with the many ridiculous inside jokes and movie references on yours? Post you sword name and number in this thread and share a story if you got one. Thanks for being in my army. Damn, so much to say. Big smiles still. My most sincere thanks for the amazing times. Cheers to all involved. Yes.

Wow. Bass Coast Project. No Words... Should have sent.... a poet.... For a festival that really succeeds at one-uping itself every year, I think you jumped about 10 notches ahead with this one. So much fun and good vibes all weekend. Some of the all time best looking and sounding stages I've ever witnessed (and that seems putting it lightly somehow) All the friends. All the chunes. Damn. That was so rad. Im pretty floored. 9 billion thank you's to everyone that played any part in that entire production. So much appreciation. Love LWSD

IT BEGINS! Crazy Western Canada festival time is upon us. Kicking it off this weekend with Motion Notion, then Bass Coast, followed by Shambhala, and then Meme (Two sets, LWSD and Sick Bay with Phil Western) Also, recently added dates at Beaver Fest, Aurora Fest and finishing it up with Fozzy Fest. After that its a big touring break for me, so come rage out while you can. After that its studio time to finally get some releases done. (Thanks for the patients, I am but one human) Looking forward to seeing all you creative and wonderful people again. Can't wait to share what I been slaving on in the lab. Travel and party safe! See you soon. DO IT!

Thank You! I've been so busy getting ready for the rest of festival season I didn't notice my soundcloud tick over a quarter million plays! :O My utmost appreciation to you all for subjecting your precious eardrums to my various sounds. I know some people can put out a tune and get this many play in a day or whatever, but this really means a lot to me. I want you to know that. Thank you.
