Dave Kirwan ('kur-wÄn)
Pronounced with an Aussie accent. Weekends
Dave Kirwan was recently imported to the United States from Down Under and is now playing the rock tracks over the weekend on K-ROCK.
Prior to arriving in New York, Dave was working on Australia’s version of The Today Show, traveling around the country and reporting on snow and surf conditions each morning. His most exciting moment was when he gave away 1 million dollars, live on-air.
He’s also been a reporter in Australia with The Weather Channel, Fox Sports, MTV and Sky News.
Before Dave got his ugly mug on TV he was hosting a radio show which was broadcast across the big brown land.
He grew up listening to Nirvana, Guns n Roses, RHCP and Pearl Jam. His best memories of school were when his history teacher would put CDs of ‘Whales Mating’ on to calm the class. When she would leave the room and return, Metallica would be blasting out the speakers. He wonders why he flunked high school…
Now that Dave is in New York, his next goal is to sample the beer at every bar, check out the live music scene and explore the city. Oh… and get a green card.
For the record, no he doesn’t drink Fosters or throw shrimps on the Barbie.

Vince Neil?s Rider and others
I found this site that lists a few has been rockers and groups and the contracts that promoters and venues sign along with the artist.It’s interesting to read their ‘riders’ - essentially a list of demands of what they need in their dressing room.Have a look at Vince Neil of Motley Crue’s list.http://www.paradiseartists.com/roster.html [...]
