Dave's True
Story– like all great art -- stands outside of its
era, with a sensibility that encompasses the past, lives
in the present, and hints at the future. The New York
City group utilizes a stylish, elegant jazz/pop sound
that contrasts the thorny thickets of
songwriter/guitarist Dave Cantor's deliciously devilish
lyrics. DTS's resident siren, Kelly Flint, coos former
playwright Cantor's crafty, acerbic missives as if they
were tender messages of love, but songs about psychic
readings, beatnik posers, and prescription medication
are seldom the stuff of late-night saloon songs. Over
the course of three albums, enough people have noticed
Dave's True Story for the band to sell over 50,000
records without the benefit of a major label or big
press machine. Instead they've been winning hearts and
minds in a more subversive, covert manner, flying under
the big boys' radar even as they've been lauded
everywhere from the NY Times to CNN and had their songs
included in the feature film KISSING JESSICA STEIN.
