Through the camera lens: Dilip and the Davs

When: Friday, 25th June 2010
Where: Settlers Tavern, Margaret River
Who: Dilip and the Davs

This was my first time at a Dilip and the Davs (or, The Davs, as they are most often called) gig. And it was my first time at Settlers Tav in Margaret River. Both turned out to be much better than I expected. Yes I had been told by the band's trombonist (Jonathan Brittain) that the Davs were awesome but I still wasn't too sure whether I would like them or not and I had been told by my dad that the settlers tav was a real rough place. Sorry dad but you were wrong on this account. I loved the Tav (as it is known as among the locals and bands who frequent the place), it has a beautiful country charm about it and it was clean and nice inside. I mean really, it is Margaret River, of course it would be nice, right? Well, maybe not...hehe. Anyway the pub was nice. The band turned out to be pretty awesome too. I'm really getting into Jazz/Blues music lately...why has it taken me so long to discover this genre of music??

So I had a rather fab time dancing to the bluesy rock that the Davs pumped out...a few times the music was so fast I ended doing some rather odd running/jumping on the spot dance thing, trying to keep up with the beat...so glad there was no mirrors, I probably would have fainted with horror/embarrassment if I could have seen myself dancing :-P Oh well, I had a blast and that's all that matters haha.

I must admit I didn't get into the music quite as much as I do with the Joe Kings but still The Davs are a great band and fun to dance to and I am definitely going to see them again ASAP! :-)

Now photo time! By the way, all these band photos so far have been taken on my Fuji Film digital camera. It's not that expensive or fancy but I am pretty happy with it's overall performance and I think it takes pretty good photos most of the time. Anyways hope you enjoy the photos....
