From Apartment To Bandit: DAVE McCORMACK On CUSTARD: Z51, TRS80 And A Dog With A Guitar

Interview by Ali Williams
Some people describe themselves as busy and mean they answered three emails before lunch. Dave McCormack currently has CUSTARD shows, his freshly assembled David McCormack’s TRS80 project, recording, touring, assorted end-of-year plans and the small matter of being Bandit in one of Australia’s most successful television exports. McCormack caught up with HEAVY’S Ali Williams to give us the latest on it all. His assessment is considerably less dramatic.
“Ali, I’m busy.” Fair enough.
For CUSTARD, that activity includes a return to Brisbane for Z51 on October 24, a festival McCormack is clearly delighted to be part of after the band missed Z50 last year. It also arrives after CUSTARD recently joined SPIDERBAIT at The Tivoli, a show that put McCormack back onstage after a decent stretch without a gig and reminded anyone within viewing distance exactly how entertaining he remains when handed a guitar and access to a microphone. “We haven’t done a gig in ages,” he says. “It was just fun to get back out there.” Fun is not difficult to identify when McCormack is involved.
