Gareth Davies (singer-songwriter)
- Gareth Davies (singer-songwriter)
Gareth Davies (b. 25 February 1977, Manchester, England) was a founder member and principal songwriter in Suburban Vegetable, releasing five albums between 1990 and 1993, including the cult classics "Organic" and "Censored Haircut". His early musical style veered from his early improvised synth-pop to the loud rock guitars of the band's mid-90s material, the shift inspired by Davies' love of bands such as Pixies and Pavement.
Since the band split Davies has been a member of several minor indie bands in the UK but has now started a solo career, releasing his second solo album "If You Can't See My Mirrors I Can't See You" in 2002. His solo style is resolutely D-I-Y and yet songs such as "Napoleon" (a collaboration with his longtime friend, County Down's Adam Leonard) and "(I) Feel Like A Ghostbuster" retained a clear pop sensibility that shone through the lo-fi production. His solo albums clearly betray his love of English curios such as Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayres, Julian Cope and Robyn Hitchcock. In 2005 he released a new album under the Suburban Vegetable name which included live favourites "Why Are You Always In The Future?" and "Drowning On A Blue Flag Beach". He currently lives and writes in Manchester.
