Release Date: Monday, 2 November, 2009
Definitive Dobbyn! 'Beside You' is a 2CD+DVD set which features all of Dave's best known songs and key album tracks -- solo, with Th' Dudes, DD Smash and more!!!
Dave Dobbyn is one of Aotearoa's most renowned and treasured musicians, with a career that has spanned almost 30 years and a string of hits including "Be Mine Tonight"; "Beside You"; "Language"; "Slice of Heaven"; "Loyal" plus many more...
In 1979 four former Sacred Heart College students released their debut album 'Right First Time'. Th' Dudes first album, which featured the legendary "Be Mine Tonight", was to mark the beginning of Dave Dobbyn's illustrious recording career. Within the short space of 12 months, (having won two New Zealand music awards, released the second album 'Where are the Boys' and played the legendary Sweetwater's festival), they disbanded.
DD Smash formed out of the ashes in 1981 and for five years would dominate the New Zealand charts with a procession of iconic singles, including "Devil You Know", "Outlook for Thursday" and "Magic (What She Do)", along with two award winning albums 'Cool Bananas' and 'The Optimist'.
It was during these years that Dave began work on his solo material, writing and recording the soundtrack to the legendary 'Footrot Flats' movie, which spawned the massive hits "Oughta Be In Love" and "Slice of Heaven".
Over the next 23 years Dave Dobbyn amassed multi platinum sales across 7 studio albums, live projects and greatest hits. "Loyal", his most celebrated song, would be chosen by an online survey as NZ's greatest song ever. He would go on to win more awards for song writing than any other New Zealander including being honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by APRA.
All this history is concisely represented on 'Beside You' -- a 39 track, retrospective double album, documenting 30 years of Dave's finest work. It includes a newly recorded DVD covering stories from his past, archive footage, and classic videos. It's a comprehensive package profiling the career so far of one of our greatest musical talents and national treasures.
