Wednesday, April 2:
Join me in being up in the morning by listening in to www.kgsr.com, where I will be performing live on air with Megan Melara. If you live in Austin, you can hear at 107.1 FM.

We will be promoting our free show at Cactus Cafe, which is tonight from 8:30-10:30.

Am out in Lubbock, TX right now, having played here last night. Before that, Lawton Oklahoma. Tomorrow night I will be in Odessa. It is great to be able to be doing this almost full time now, and I want to thank to everyone who has helped make it possible.

It's hard as a solo singer/songwriter on the road to find an audience in each town, and tap into those people who will find something in themselves for what you do. I know many of you know this, and I suppose it's all part of the process. I have a new category of shows I'd like to share wth you all, one I'm sure many fellow musicians are familiar with: Soul Killer, Wallet Filler. These are shows where you get paid very well, yet need to stay away from bridges afterwards. I know there are those stuck in cover bands, wedding bands, playing jock sports bars, etc, who are in a category of this all on their own. Then there is the world of the day job, and I won't even go there. I, however, am speaking of the ones where maybe people don't know there's music going on there that night, and were just looking to come in for a drink to catch up with friends, or to mac on chicks, and what they got was a singer/songwriter on tour, and so they...well they just don't give a fuck. Or if they do, they pretend very convincingly not to. On these nights, you get 3 hours of singing your heart out - songs that you have spent a lifetime of craft devotion learning how to write and present - and finish each song to the light din of chatter, the deafening strains of silence, or - in the worse case scenario - rather mild applause. I don't care who you are, when you're up there singing and no-one's listening, any artist worth their salt will feel in those moments that it is they haven't the goods to keep folks interested. They're not drunks neccessarily, or frat boys, they're just...people. And a great performer MAKES people listen, whether they wanted to listen or not. Getting paid to sing your own songs is truly a blessing....but don't you also want to matter? A plumber fixes a sink, gets paid, people then use the sink, but ultimately the thing that matters to the plumber is getting paid. I guess in art we want it all - 2 currencies to be paid in: money AND relevance. You certainly take the relvence to your grave more than the money. And often times....often times you just don't get both. The money is key to keeping it afloat, but relevence is what you got in it for. There are certainly more stable paths to take in life.

I conclude what I have always known - that it's all about looking, finding those people to whom your art matters, and when you do, it makes a whole night worthwhile. A whole life worthwhile. You're not going to matter to everyone, you just need to keep finding those to whom you do. So to those to whom I do, thank you, I am grateful, and you truly are part of what makes me keep doing this.

Something interesting was said to me last night, in an aside. Someone said to me after the show that they could tell I was based in Austin, not Lubbock, and the way they could tell was because I had opinions, that people in these parts didn't have many opinions. I'm certainly no James McMurtry onstage with the opinions. We're talking, like, "Sometimes in east Austin early mornings you see some lonely looking figures walking the streets, and to me it always looks like they're looking for some sort of hope...". She was cool. In fact, everyone who worked at the place was cool. But I walked out feeling, "I'd sure hate to not give a fuck."

I will do this more, I promise. The past 8 months of on and off touring have left me more stories than I've written of (ie. more than zero). I can't rehash too much. This past month has taken me through East Texas, Louisiana, Alabama (you've got the weigh of the union), and here to Nashville, TN. Nashville can be rather humbling. I had 4 writing sessions this week, these people were all so talented I had to really dig to contribute. Quality brainstorming is an art in and of itself, as I had suspected, yet work got accomplished. Rachel Loy and I wrote a beautiful song called "Salvation". Nick Gotten drove all the way over from Knoxville, and we hammered out some good work over a beautiful piece of music he had written for the occasion. James Farrel is so young, and so talented. At his age I had maybe 8 songs. I was artistically draining out by the time we got together, but fortunately he had a home run waiting for us. It was humbling, but that's what we need in life. Thank you James, Nick, Rachel, and Thad, not to mention Beth, Brian, Carrie Jean, Mare, Carl Pike, and Nomad. I will see you all again soon.

"Lake Charles" has my favorite line, "He always said Louisiana was where he felt at home". You have said that many times, and I miss you every day. I am learning how to live as I go.

Feb 07, 2007

OK everybody, so here's the deal. This Friday night, Feb. 9, I am having the CD release party/show for my new album, Big Red Sun, at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Tex. Big Red Sun was recorded in Austin, Tex, at Peter Stafford and Seth Gibbs' Superpop! Studios, and Ron Flynt's Jumping Dog Studios. It was mixed by Richard Mendelson (Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson, Tiffany, New Kids On The Block [oh yeah!]) in Boston, MA, and mastered by Robert Hadley (Ray Charles, Lyle Lovett, Ryan Adams) at The Mastering Lab in Los Angeles, CA. It contains 13 songs and features, among others, Jon Dee Graham, Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Warren Hood, Danny Levin, with original cover art by Paige Moore. It has taken me over a year to complete, and I'm very proud of the album. So the show will be the bomb.

Now……I know what you're all thinking – "How can I go see David Newbould play on the same night that Bob Saget is performing at The Paramount?" Well, it's a good question……but ask yourself this – If you go see Bob Saget, will he actually be joined on the stage by the likes of Austin's own international steel guitar superstar Cindy Cashdollar? Will he be joined on the stage by Danny Levin playing cello? Warren Hood playing fiddle? Will he have been practicing for almost two months with his crack band of musicians, as well as Stefano Intellisano, Megan Melara, and others, all for this one show, this very special night to serve you, the fans, in Austin, TX? Ha! Lastly, if you went to see Bob Saget, would you be paying only $10 and seeing David Newbould, then The Small Stars (www.thesmallstars.com, releasing their new album Tijuana Dreams), AND receiving a complimentary copy of David Newbould's Big Red Sun at the door??? I don't think you would.
So please come out if you can. I want this not only to be the biggest night of my career in Austin to date, but I also want Stubb's to be THE PLACE TO BE for this one special night! Help make it so...

Also check out 3 new songs from the album exclusively on my myspace page.

Friends,

SXSW has come and gone. Usually at this time, I feel two things.

1) Old
2) That I have the most talented friends on earth. Maybe because I get to see them all play or hear their music in such a short time span. Between Cameron McGill, Molly Venter, Michelle Anthony, Megan Melara, I defy anybody to raise me their most talented friends. I would put mine up against anyone's. Here, we'll Iron Chef it. I'll be the assistant running around providing tools and accoutraments. Capo, check; quarter inch splitter check; roll back the hi's, check. Coffeehouse Stadium. Squiezon? Yes? He's about to blow the collective's mind with his mastery and sincerity. She will follow with a voice so soulful and angelic that the people won't know what to do. And they're all going to be served up on songs that everyone in the room will wish they could have written, but know that they couldn't.

Be these people's fans, please. Become fans of them if you aren't already. You will have only yourself to thank.

1/30/2006

Word. I'm in the middle of recording my CD. I have some excellent musicians who are going to be on it - Don Harvey, Warren Hood, Stefano Intellisano, Molly Venter, Beth Garner, and hopefully a special guest of honor. Hoping for it to be done by April. In other news, "Lost and Found" on Party of Five DVD. And "See You On The Other Side" and "Century Girl" on CBS' Threshold. That's 4 shows now. OK then. Later.

11/7/2005

It's offical, "Lost And Found" has been included on the DVD of "Joan of Arcadia (Season 1)". That's 2 - TWO - songs on melodrmatic teenage soap opera DVD's. Ah - a - a - a - a - ah (in voice of Sesame Street's The Count). OK seriously, though, I like it, it is fine, I have now had 2 songs placed on real DVD's. I really want to get out a real record, though. I am working on it. Hopefully it'll be ready by early next year.

That's the news from here. Ed?

11/1/2005

Favorite 2 albums this fall:

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Uncle Tupelo - Still Feel Gone

Awesome. Just as awesome.

I MISS THE LEMONHEADS

I miss The Lemonheads. Maybe it's just me (all indications are that it is), but I used to seriously like how life felt when I was listening to them. Wasn't all just flaky happey, either, like Herman and The Hermits. Wasn't always even happy, either, but Even Dando sure had a way with putting together a good song. Sure, he may not have been a flat out visionary genius of the times like Jay Farrar or Paul Westerburg, but he sure knew how to write a damn good pop song when he wanted to. Everyone talked of "It's A Shame About Ray" being his masterpiece, but it wasn't. It just came out at the right time. Oh, it was good, but his songs just got better after that. There was "Come On Feel The Lemonheads", which had one of the very best beginnings of any album you'll find (greatest albums in history aside). First 4 songs - bang bang, bang, bang!. "The Great Big No", "Into Your Arms", "It's About Time", "Down About It". Then you had that thing with about 6 songs in a row all in the same key but each not quite as good as the last. Weird! That was the album that was supposed to make them starts, but it didn't happen. Evan was too out of it and tried to squeeze too much crap into the album. But there were some great frickin' songs on it! Then "Car Button Cloth", the nest album, was the best of all of them, but that one just fell off the map. Sure, there were 2 filler songs on there that were long and crap, but every single other 10 or whatever were on it were killer. Fuckin' irresistable music! But I've spent 2 weeks trying to find the album, and it's nowhere. New, used, online - it's like the last 5 David Lee Roth solo albums - a total nonentity! But it sure was good. They sure made me happy. And it wasn't the times or the trends that took them down. They weren't Simple Minds, or Ministry, or The Cranberries. Even was too talented to sink. He'd have had a career of some sort still going. Sure there was that solo album from 2 years ago, but I'm a fan of theirs, and I only found out about that one last week! No, he was brought down by crack and heroin, simple as that. Blew it, but I hope he at least had a good time. I hear he is through all that and doing better. I hope he is, because he made a mark, and he ought to go out and try to make another one.

That's all I have to say on this topic.

ROGER DALTRY AND ELVIS

I was at the coffee shop tonight and was - as I often am - being completely swept up and blown away by the sounds of The Who. And as I was leaping around and playing my air guitar like a 12 year old, I was of course belting out Roger Daltry at the top of my lungs (well, sort of). And if got me to thinking. People will tell you that Pete Townshend was the best thing to ever happen to Roger Daltry, and I won't entirely disagree, but I would also argure that Roger was the best thing to ever happen to Pete. To some this might be stating the obvious, but there are those who'll lay that hollow argument that Roger was a stooge who happened to be around at the right place, right time, and Pete could have just as easily grabbed someone else. I know. Over the years, I've heard this stuff. Fact is, though, that maybe at the beginning he might not have even known it....but Roger was no John Oates, or even Art Garfunkel. Hell, he meant more to his band than almost any singer in rock has. Yes, Pete Townshend was the architenct and a genius - and a more passionate, expressive, and conflicted genius you will not find this side of Marvin Gaye or Van Gogh. But Roger not only sung these songs, he adopted them, claimed them, let them define who he was, and in turn defined who they were. For Roger, those songs and that music became his life, and it's there in every syllable you ever hear the guy sing with The Who. And when he talked to Pete about getting back together a few years back, he talked to him about that music being family, identity, the need for family and the beauty of these values. To me this is the whole essence of music, and art, that unspeakable reason that so many of us choose to give up all our rational hopes of a regular and secure life in the name of chasing down its mysteries - and hope if we're lucky to maybe create a couple of our own. He has more frickin' money than anyone could ever spend. But his passion for singing these songs is undying. I mean, who else at this stage in their career brings it like these guys? Mick and Keith? Fuck that. Sir Paul McCartney? I don't think so. Did you see The Who at the post 9/11 Concert For New York City? Or even at Live 8? Unbelieveable.

I love Roger Daltry the artist because he knows what he does and lets it be the only thing that matters to him. He is not an architenct, a designer. He is a servant of Rock and Roll. He preaches its glory every time he gets to sing these masterpieces, these beautiful, glorius, and iconic masterpieces that are put in front of him. His voice is a tool, but his gut is an inspiration. To me, Roger Daltry is like Elvis. A dude who transports and reinterprets a gift to us designed by others, and who believes in it so much that he makes the gift better for all those who follow. And he comes with all of rock and roll 101 - the leather, the hair, great boots, and a background of being a teenage hood! Pete showed Roger the light, but Roger brought the elctricity. My two cents.

9/2/2005

Not for nothing, but am I the only one who thinks it's stupid that VH1 has all these shows - top 20 worst videos of all time, stupidest 20 songs of all time, etc - where all the vidoes they have these people come in and ridicule are the same videos that they played 24/7, where you couldn't get away from, them back when the song came out? Idiots.

7/29/2005

It's about time - The David Newbould Band as you know us, as you hear us on this very site, as you see us live and in person, is:

Charlie Richards - electric and steel guitars
Naj C. - bass and backing vox

David Newbould - electric/acoustic guitars and lead vox

Wanted you to know!

D.

P.S. If you can find a way to see Bruce Springsteen on this solo tour....do it.

7/6/2005

Word up. This Saturday (July 9) we are playing at Saxon Pub in Austin. Appearing after us will be Stephen Bruton. For those of you not in the know.......he played with Dylan! And Kris Kristofferson for a long time as well. But that was then and this is now, and now Stephen Bruton is an amazingly accomplished bandleader/guitarist who also happens to be one fifth of The Resentments. This will be our last gig for at least a month, and we've been on a bit of a roll lately, too, so if ya can make it, make it.

Biggest Musical Letdowns:

-Spending $220 (Sorry Joe, secret is out) when I was 17 on 12th row center Rolling Stones ticket - bursting with anticipation all summer - then hearing the opening chords of song 1, "Start Me Up", and realizing I had nothing ahead of me but 2 hours of fake pianos, loud horn sections, barely audible guitars - and a lame band. Will never forget the feeling.

-Seeing Neil Young in 1990 packing up and leaving the stage after 55 unbelieveable minutes.

-Camping out overnight to buy Clapton tickets when I was 15 and getting my arm run over by a fire truck 2 weeks before the show.

-"Be Here Now" (seeing how the whole ride had ben a con)

-What the '80's did to every cool band from the '70's.

-Seeing the original "Star Wars" again as an adult (okay, it's not exactly music related, but it felt pretty rock and roll when I was 5).

-The most recent 32 years of Rod Stewart's career.

-Not seeing Bruce in '73, '75, '78, or '80 (when I was 0, 2, 5, and 7 respectively).

-Not seeing The Who anytime until 1989.

-Not seeing Jeff Buckley, Joe Strummer, Marvin Gaye, or John Lennon anytime in my lifetime.

-Having a signifigant music lawyer coming to see me during SXSW, after countless great shows, and the venue having no soundman, no schedule, a sub-zero degree outdoor stage, depleted crowd, drunk Australians grabbing the mike, and ultimatly the only night of my career reminiscent of my first ever high school talent night show (age 15).

...More to come...always more to come...

4/10/2005

Crap! I've gone to a bunch of my other friends' websites and looked at their writings. They are so DILIGENT about keeping their public thoughts and observations for all you people updated. I need some diligence in my life. Other than my vices, I have precious little in my life. Plus I keep up too much with my myspace thing and not enough with this one. It'll wear off. You always come back home. My band and I have had two hot shows at Antone's in the last month. We played with Billy Joe Shaver and also Tucker Livingston and John Pointer. Opening for Billy Joe and the crowd I dubbed the Stetson Elite was I think one of those rock things that everyone must experience on their way to the top (part of the hazing). You know...Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees, Bruce Springsteen opening for Anne Murray.........The Blues Brothers and the ckicken wire. Billy Joe was great, and his crowd was, too, so I unplugged my electric and we tried our best to show the respect. Playing with Tucker and John the next week was 180 degrees, and also great. Tucker's band is awesome. Every Sunday at Lucky Lounge. Go. John's at Cedar Street every week, too. Think we made some new fans that night, as well.

During SXSW I got to play with two of my favorite people in the world - Cameron McGill and Michelle Anthony. Their sites are listed on my friends page. I wish my band could tour with Cameron, Michelle's band, Tucker's band....we'd just criss cross the country blowing 20 and 30 somethings away with 1, 2, 3, 4 unique, intense, special acts one right after the other, night after night. Would be like the Festival Express but without the drugs and with better bands. Anyway, one of us hits it big, I say we round up the others and do it.

In two weeks going up to Detroit to play the first - and hopefully not the last - annual Motown Music Conference. Still trying to get myself some radio appearances to help promote in advance. Anyone within 100 miles, come over to Motor City. I'm all on my own up there!

Will muse more later.

11/20/2004

Back from midwest trip. Aside from the Buckley shows, I also played in Milwaukee and Joliet, Ill, which were good. Sold a bunch of CDs, made some fans, and now being back home is a bit of a drag....save for one or two things ;-). Chicago was warm. People sitting outside on the sidewalk watching the show. Milwaukee rained, but still people came (including Lucas from Austin!). Michelle Anthony set up the show, and must be thanked for for her hospitality (and for letting me do a tune with her). Joliet doesn't look like where you'd picture Jake Blues to come from, but I guess that's Hollywod for you. It's actually much nicer. Met a great dude from LA named Beejtar who has a studio in Malibu (Shangri-La Studios) that Mark Knopfler just recorded at which looks unbelieveable. Check it HERE. Might also be the coolest damn website I've ever been to. All in all it's fine to be back, but I have no shows lined up at the present :( so nothing to ride this momentum with. Which sucks! Write on my community board or something to keep me amused during this time.

9/12/2004

YO! I haven't written in ages! Well I just want you all to know our video is still JUST ABOUT done - the progress had been stalled, but it seems to have been remedied. One week, two weeks - I don't know, but it should be ready soon. Today I played at Sculptfest at the Umlauf Gardens here in Austin, organized by my friend Aimee Bobruk (www.aimeebobruk.com). Noon is a hard time for any musician to get their mojo woking, but all things considered it went alright. Music is sculpting. How profound. Well I need some sleep, but I just wanted to let everyone know I'm not dead. Go and write something new in the community board someone, would you?

7/7/2004

Friends, our long awaited video for "See You On The Other Side", the one we've been using the shoot for as an excuse in conning you out to virtually all our shows over the last 3 months, is finally JUST ABOUT done!. It is looking way cool, though, and should be up at Austin Music Network within the next two weeks or so. As well, we're looking into a way to get it up on this website, as well. Our drummer Steve has worked tirelessly and endlessly editing it, neglecting his family, his obligations, even us(!), in order to complete it. OK, so maybe you might not think it's Billie Jean or Looks That Kill or any other of the monumental giants that the medium was built on (Start Me Up, anyone?), but how are we gonna compare with illuminated sidewalks or Aqua Net fiends with torches and pentagrams? We only have ourselves to work with.

The lure for our next few gigs (4/9 at Capitol Draft House, 4/7 at Fox and Hound, 4/21, 4/28 at Bigsby's)........free passes to see the video!

6/1/2004

Saxon Pub, tomorrow (Wed) night at 7 - I am on an ASCAP Austin Songwriters Group bill sharing the stage with 2 other songwriters in a songwriters in the round setting. ASCAP puts these on once a month and I have the pleasure of being part of it this month. They are well attended by people who have to do with these types of things, and it is an event of much high prestige, as is this.........

Final Video Scene/New Show Added! People - We have just added this last minute show - we are playing this Thursday night at Graffiti's uptown at 8 pm. The real news is that it is to be of the final series of shots for our "See You On The Other Side" video. We have the backstage shots, the autograpgh shots, the press conference, radio show, and hello Cleveland shots, the limo shots, the lineup shots, and this is to be the final shot. So if any of you want to be seen in a video, nursing your beer and half-heartedly goaded into applauding by a delusional rock and roll band, now is your chance. If not, we encourage it if you just want to sit in the back and not be noticed.

4/25/2004

San Antonio -

We had a good time down there with host Ryan Weber and his people. I don't know why people say there's nothing to do in San Antonio -- we found at least three things to do there. We ate, we played......we played again. We drank, we left. There, that's 5 things. 5 things to do there. So don't listen to what anybody tells you.

3/28/2004

Newsflash - the Wednesday happy hours at The Parish have been cancelled. In fact, all the days' happy hours at The Parish have been cancelled. We're sorry about that (though we had nothing to do with it!). We were starting to have folks in line to make something out of it but then they pulled the plug. Oh well - sometimes you win, sometimes you break even.

3/23/2004

Friends, I sit here at work and SXSW has come and, for better or worse, gone. Austin is once again home to Austinites, but we had some cool turnouts at our shows! Our friend from L.A. Ronan Chris Murphy came out to see us at Capitol Draft House, and Joyce from North Star Media (the folks responsible for my Dawson's Creek placement) sent some people out to see us as well. I don't know if they made it or not, though. On top of all that, we rocked and exhausted ourselves, which is how rock and roll is meant to be. Next month we go to San Antonio to play for Hairball8 Records (moniker: "Do you still believe in rock and roll?" - yes'm, we do). By the way, we have an excellent video planned and we got some excellent footage during the nightly SX fiascos of crowd control. We have some great plans for this video. Till next time....Dave.

3/20/2004

SXSW is going on....and on.........and on.......! But soon it will be over, thank god, and our beloved little homwtown of Austin can once again be how it was meant to be - sleepy, lazy, empty except for its hometown rock. We wouldn't let it come and go, however, without one last appearance (making a total of 3) in its tyrannical midst. Tonight at Capitol Draft House on 6th St we will be playing a full set of rock standards (OK, our standards anyway) along with a bunch of other cool local bands playing their standards. We play at 6:45. Hope some of all y'all make it.

3/15/2004

Saw Rufus Wainwright the other night. The sound at La Zona Rosa is perplexing, but the performance didn't suffer. Still, it's like a tin can playing the music into only one side of your head unless you're positioned just so. Difficult to work around! Shannon McNally was amazing opening up for him, and when he got down and just played solo RW was very affecting. Going to see Wilco here in Austin next month, and after our Capitol Draft House show here this Saturday (Mar. 20), crossing the street and going to see Pete Yorn. How does this little town get them? Well, our band continues to slam. Hopefully you can come see us this week. The Hideout acoustically this Thursday (5-7), Graffitti's Bob's-Country-Bunker non SXSW showcase uptown on Friday, and Capitol Draft House 6:45 on Saturday.

Later,

D

Well, we're playing what definitely has to be the best spot we've landed yet in Austin. This Wednesday we play Antone's at 9 pm. We need to do all we can to make that cavernous venue feel kinda full, so if all y'all can find it in your hearts, come out and support us on this Wednesday night. We've vowed to put on our most ass-kicking, day job forgetting, anecdotes for years to come inducing, finally landing the man or woman you’ve been chasing after show yet...

Well alright, we haven't formally vowed it, but it's our general aim every time.

Antone's - 213 W.5th St.

Well, our Eklektikos spot with John Ailiey on KUT went off really well. We played 5 songs from our repertoire and had some laughs with John on air. He's a nice dude. Unfortunately, as the forecast that day called for hail, the promo effect the whole thing was supposed to have for that evening's Flamingo Cantina show was somewhat ineffectual...some things you just can't control (other places - sure.....Austin - not exactly typical seasonal climate!). Whatever, though - the shows will keep coming. The broadcast is also going to be available for streaming and/or downloading soon on this site, so all of you who missed it can check it whenever you are in the mood, also thus hearing some of our as yet unrecorded songs (some of which are my favorites).

Tomorrow night we're at Ego's at 11pm, thrilled to announce that the following day is President's Day, so you can all stay out late and enjoy the Ego's rock and roll experience. See you then.

Folks - at long last we bring you davidnewbould.com. After having to put up with generic IUMA pages, sites going out of business, etc. etc., I now have a site of my own. Rock and roll!

I'm going to have a new video soon. Last week my band and I played up at Nasty's near UT campus and shot some footage we're going to use in the music video for "See You On The Other Side". We will be shooting at upcoming gigs, too. I'm hoping for the video to be up and on local video stations by April, adding to the one I already have for "Place In My Heart" (which you can request anytime by calling Austin Music Network at (512) 451-1777 and asking to see it).

That's all for now. Updates will be regular.

Enjoy the site!
