DAVEY LA SHOWCASES MATERIAL FROM SOLO DEBUT IN L A INCLUDING LEAD SINGLE “ROTTEN IN DENMARK”

DAVEY LA will release his debut solo full-length CD in early 2008, which includes the infectious first single “Rotten In Denmark,” produced by Dandy Warhols’ frontman Courtney Taylor. After an extensive career both behind-the-scenes as a producer and as part of British power-pop five-piece Ambershades, DAVEY will bring his alluringly intense songs and magnetic stage presence to Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 7 at The Joint and Saturday, August 11 at the Whisky a Go Go. DAVEY has also recently signed on to be dressed by Calvin Klein.

“Rotten in Denmark” was produced in Portland, OR at Taylor’s Odditorium and delivers an intense mix of classic rock, dark lyrics, crunching guitars, driving piano hooks and an undeniable upbeat tempo. Other stand-out tracks include the irresistible pop rock of “Ichi Ni San Shi…Go!” and the soulful ballads “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Fires,” which are featured on the Rotten In Denmark EP slated for release in Fall 2007.

British-born, Manhattan-dwelling rocker DAVEY LA was literally born into music. His professional jazz musician father introduced him to the drums at age five and DAVEY has been making music ever since. He worked as a producer and engineer at Alaska Studios in London, then formed Ambershades in 2001 with fellow Alaska Studios alum Ben Castle. Their debut album spawned three indie top twenty hits and was touted by UK magazines including NME, Uncut Magazine and Glamour. After the band parted ways, some members joined international singing sensation James Blunt on tour and DAVEY made his way to the U.S. in 2005.
