Bourne Davis Kane
Matthew Bourne – piano and sampler
Steven Davis - drums / percussion
Dave Kane – bass
Bourne Davis Kane abhor complacency. Their desire to connect, to really connect with an audience is palpable in everything they do. They demand not just attention but engagement too. These three like-minded musical partners commit themselves totally to the performance.
Bourne, Davis and Kane are all adventurous musicians and composers in their own right. Alone, they have wowed critics, broken boundaries and challenged conventions. Together, they have produced an album of democratic interactiveness pooling their unique resources to create an admirably unified sound.
Lost Something is their debut album and is music with both of wit and intelligence, heart and soul. Lost Something? – Not a chance. Bourne Davis Kane have found it!
“On the strength of this, BDK go to work with aggressive good humour. No wonder there’s an old photo of steel-workers on the back of this, for the trio have a gritty Lagan-built reliability that doesn’t preclude moments of real beauty, like the wind-down on Steven Davis’s “Melt”. The drummer’s responsible for one other original, “De Selby’s Earth”, and bassist Dave Kane for a couple more, including the fine title track. Matthew Bourne (not that Matthew Bourne) plays piano and sampler with rugged individualism. One slightly worrying thing. In the group photo, Dave Kane has three arms. “Lost something?”. Brian Morton’s review of ‘Lost Something’”. (The Wire)
