Well, my fellow David Wrench fans, I have good news and I have great news: First the good news!

Thea Sigma has found me more David Wrench photos! Two of them, though, are unattributed; one is unattributed because it was just a random photo she found on her hard-drive, and the other is, well, I accidentally closed the tab after I already saved it without attribution.

She found a bunch more and I just e-mailed the person who took them for permission to re-post them here.

Thea Sigma also found David Wrench’s MySpace? It’s pretty empty and only has Tom listed as a friend, but if this is, in fact, genuine, he’s an Aries, enjoys long walks on the beach, a smoking and drinking Athiest, has at least one Wrenchling, and is seeing somebody. Ah well, I can still look, right?

Even better news?!?!

There is now a forum! I promised you people a forum, didn’t I? I wanted to wait, though, until I had the right forum plug-in for this, and I found it! And gave you a forum! Whoo!

HOW TO USE THE FORUM:

1. Are you registered with the site? You’re not? Oh, lordy…. OK, first register with the site. How? See the sidebar? Yeah, that column to the right. Scroll down until you see a link that says “Register”. OK, now click it. Fill out the necessary info. Ta-Daa! You are now registered and can use the forum! Also, be sure to log in where it says “Login” in the side-bar, when you are not logged in.
2. If you feel like it, edit your profile. You can do this either at the control panel after you log in, *or* you can do that at the forum, where it says “My Profile” and then click “Edit profile”.
3. Post! Go to the forum. Click on a topic sub-forum. Post you brains out.
4. If you have any suggestions, make them in the appropriate sub-forum.

Keep in mind that you can still comment on the site updates like you always could, unless, of course, I change my mind in the future. You don’t have to register with the site to comment, but you *do* have to register to use the forum.

latest David Wrench production and engineering credits I found in a google search:

Songs For Lonely Americans by Sir Vincent Lone
This also includes “ambient keyboard drones, downtempo drum machines and even a little hip-hop turntablism” credited to Wrench

Oh What A Blow That Phantom Dealt Me by Jackie Leven

And also, David Wrench has been involved with the Welsh band Swci Boscawen, and they just released an album, Coture C’ching. Buy it now.

As always, if you have any other David Wrench news, feel free to e-mail it to me.

Also, because I’m seeing a need for it, I’m going to be creating a forum for this site so that other losers with no life David Wrench fans can communicate and stuff. Oh yay.

OK, I’m going to stop being a lazy sod and go do my own music now.

I can’t believe I missed this the first time.

David Wrench worked with Zoë Skoulding and Alan Holmes on his first full-length solo record Blow Winds Blow. Their current project is Parking Non-Stop. I’m taking some listens to the sound files they have on MySpace and I really like what I hear. Think like Virgin Prunes’ A New Form of Beauty or Iannis Xenakis-meets-Kraftwerk.

So, in my search for More David Wrench Stuff To Add Here, I came across this Welsh band called Swci Boscawen. I guess you could call them “Pop Punk” or “Power Pop” (is there really a difference?), but their music is interesting in that the singer seems to perform exclusively in the Welsh language. I tried noodling around with Welsh when I was maybe twelve? I didn’t get much further than pre-remedial pronounciation and a couple of words. At one time, all I could say in Welsh was “I love you” and “Hello” (in short, I was trying to translate lyrics by The Doors to Welsh for no reason other than I was bored), but I haven’t really retained any of it. (After all, the mind is the first thing to die….) I have an aunt who married into my mother’s side of the family who speaks Welsh as a first language and English as a second language, but I’m pretty sure she died some years back.

…but I digress…

So, I can’t speak, much less understand, any of these lyrics, but the band here plays some pretty neat little songs — and they’re available to download via their MySpace page! Whoo!

(Oh, yes, David Wrench has some involvement with this band as Producer and session musician, so that’s why I’m posting here.)

This is the new, UNOFFICIAL fansite for musician David Wrench.  Basically, when I find out news about David Wrench, I’ll post it to this portion of the site.

His official site seems to be defunct at the moment, so I’ll be compiling a biography based on notes I’ve found in various places (mostly on-line).  If you have info you think will be useful, please feel free to send it to me via the contact page.

Soon, I’ll also open up a forum so that Wrench fans may communicate and keep each other informed on events such as performances and CD releases.
