DOBBYNEWS

• NEW SINGLE ON OFFICIAL WEBSITE: The new Dobbyn single "Just Add Water" is now up on the official website at www.davedobbyn.co.nz. The song will remain online in its entirety until Dave's new album is launched in early August 2000.  NEW!
• DD-MAIL: The Dobbyn e-mail discussion list "Umm" has been turned into a swanky new automated one. Click here to go straight to the subscribe page, or here to learn more about the list and its origins.  
• OVERNIGHT SUCCESS: A new Dobbyn "Best Of" is out!  Sixteen classic tracks plus a a re-recorded "Be Mine Tonight" and a new song, the Beatlesque (think "Abbey Rd" b-side) "Madeleine Avenue". 
• DOBBYN-101: So, you saw Dave supporting Shawn Mullins in Australia and want to know where to start when it comes to buying his albums? Check out the Beginner's Guide. 
• A NEW OUTLOOK: The first single The New Outlook from Dark Tower's upcoming album, samples DD Smash's Outlook For Thurdsay, and features vocals by Dave Dobbyn himself, and he also appears in the video (as a mafioso-type crime boss no less!)
• PETITION: Don't you think Dave would make a great addition to the cast in the Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings trilogy being filmed in NZ presently? Bilbo and Frodo could do with the assistance of the bard hobbit, Dobbo. Jackson wouldn't even need to use expensive computer technology to shrink Dave down to hobbit size! Sign our petition to get Dave on the cast (or at least the soundtrack).
• PRINT: This Website makes it to NZ newspapers! Read the "Nostradobbyn Article", then enter the Nostradobbyn Contest. The site's NetGuide award also made the NZ Herald & other NZ newspapers in late 1998. The Nostrodobbyn page was the focus of a TV interview on TV1's "Good Morning" in Feb '99.
• CONTEST: The trivia contest with a difference has closed; You sent me your trivia, you didn't have to answer obscure questions! The entries are up, and I will post the prize to the winner very soon!
• PRINT: Read the fantastic DD article / interview from the January 1999 North & South magazine. 
• GREEN-RIBBON: This website supports the Green-Ribbon Campaign to increase local content on NZ radio and TV (and by TV I don't mean crap like April's Angels & shows hosted by Suzanne Paul). NB: These views do not (necessarily) represent those of Dave Dobbyn.
