the genius of DAVE ROTH




Dave was a Ft.Myers,Florida musician,who moved on to Georgia and abroad,doing studio time with Sean "Puffy"Coombs(before he was anyone),Jad Fair,and lots of others.He was also in many bands such as the Go-Devils,Insane Jane,even a guest spot with Cat Machine.He invented the "Queerbait",a stringed electric noisemakin'lap steel contraption.This is a selection of early solo material,styles vary,experimental,cover of the Beatles,"Good Day Sunshine",I swear I have him doing"Theme Song from The Jefferson's",somewhere,(I may be dreaming),songs that sound like out-takes of Residents and Negativland,this is very cool nonetheless,a musicians musician,thinking music for those who can't think,this will distract your way of life!
