Xan Phillips Presents... Dave Pen
Along with more tracks from the south coast's bubbling song writing scene Xan Phillips will be talking with singer and musician Dave Pen. He sings and writes for the collective Archive, who have a massive European following, selling out venues such as the 6000 seat Zenith in Paris. In England Dave's other project Birdpen has a more esoteric existence, yet just as much respect.As one of the six songwriters in the progressive collective known as 'Archive', south coast singer Dave Pen has become well respected in Europe, yet he stills remains an enigma in the UK. In the latest edition of 'Xan Phillips presents...' Dave speaks about his journey to joining Archive and how he approached singing 'Fuck U' one of the finest 'angry songs' around. |
