HAILING
FROM PERTH in Western Australia, Dave
Warner formed Australia’s first punk band
PUS back in the early 1970s. By the time The Sex Pistols had
formed, Warner had already moved on to a new phase of music
and social commentary which he dubbed Suburban Rock. His band
Dave Warner’s From The Suburbs
was a major Australian pub band playing with the likes of Men
At Work, Midnight Oil, INXS, Dragon and Skyhooks. His albums
were highly original and successful, tapping into the psyche
of the ordinary Aussie boy and girl. By the mid-80s, tired of
touring Warner began writing in other forms. In 1997 his debut
novel City of Light,
a sweeping crime saga, won the Premier’s West Australian
Literary Award. He continues to write novels and non-fiction
books.

Dave
has also written screenplays – two that have been made into
films are Cut (1999),
starring Molly Ringwald and Kylie Minogue, and Garage
Days, co-written and directed by Alex Proyas. Warner
still plays the occasional live show, sometimes with the full
band, sometimes with a scaled down version, and often including
live readings from his novels, plays and performance poetry.

Dave's new compilation album, Correct Planet,
