DAVE ARBUS info
Dave Arbus
(violin)
Fantastic violin player (also a multiinstrumentalist
- he plays flute, sax and trumpet). He was born on October 8, 1941.
He formed superb band East of Eden in Brighton in 1967.
They released Mercator projected. After
that, Dave Dufort and Steve York left. This was the new lineup:
Their 2nd album was Snafu. Then, Ron
Caines also left. This was around 1970.
Next album was East of Eden, with
country influences. It was recorded by:
Their 4th album was called New leaf.
Recorded with:
After that, Arbus left the band.
At least, two compilations have been released by the band.
In 1971, a compilation was released, Jig-a-jig, comprising tracks
from their 1st and 2nd albums. Another one was World of East of Eden.
Next band was Fiddler's Dram, in 1972:
The band was active for some years,
but I don't know when Dave Arbus left them (as I think Dave doesn't appear in
their album, released in 1978).
In November 1975, Dave reappears
with Coxhill Sinclair Band. Dave Arbus was friends with Richard Sinclair back
in 1969, when Arbus guested in some Caravan gigs:
In January 1976, this was the
lineup for Sinclair & The South:
And now, we have a big gap!
Help here, please!
In 1997, East of Eden comes
to life again with 3 original members:
They release a new album, Kalipse,
with help from bassist Jan Lehne. Even though its moderate success, they release
a new one, called Armadillo.
