Mistery Science Thearer 3000 (LIVE)

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (often abbreviated as MST3K) is an American cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains, Inc., that ran from 1988 to 1999.

The series features a man and his robot sidekicks who are trapped on a space station by an evil scientist and forced to watch a selection of bad movies, often (but not limited to) science fiction B-movies. To keep sane, the man and his robots provide a running commentary on each film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking (or "riffing") their way through each reel in the style of a movie-theater peanut gallery. Each film is presented with a superimposition of the man and robots' silhouettes along the bottom of the screen.

Son of Dave - 02 (2003)

Download/Descargar

It starts with a beat box amplified by an old Astatic microphone, the harmonica follows and with a stomp of the foot a husky loop is captured. As the loop grinds away his vocal starts low and almost spoken whilst the harmonica sings and a groaning bass-line drops.

Self-tailored to his own thrifty standard, Son Of Dave dresses in impeccable gentleman’s fashion from the 1950’s. Seen alongside the modern day businessman, one wonders how things became so bland. His three-piece suits and wide brim Fedora set him aloft the crowd with an air of bygone dignity. He grew up in a shed in Manitoba, Canada. His daddy, Dave, gave him a harmonica and shaker one Christmas. The Koreans eventually developed a foot pedal for him to sample and loop himself. 

He has played literally hundreds of gigs in the last couple of years and picked up fans as mixed and varied as Grace Jones, Mark Lamarr, Jon Kennedy, Jools Holland, KT Tunstall and Supergrass whom he supported on tour around the UK in October 2005.
Son of Dave has made his wishes and ambitions known. He wants to make grown men cry, be better than the White Stripes, scare off guitar driven dullness and make sweet Devil music that no-one can resist.
