The David McComb documentary Love In Bright Landscapes will open at cinemas in Sydney and Melbourne in May.

McComb formed The Triffids in Perth in 1976 and after they broke up in 1989 formed The Blackeyed Susans until they finished in 1993. He died in 1999 at age 36 after years of drug and alcohol abuse. His cause of death was listed as from “heroin toxicity and mild acute rejection of his 1996 heart transplant”.

The Triffids were best known for the song ‘Wide Open Road’ and ‘Bury Me Deep In Love’.

To coincide with the screening “The Friends of David McComb” band, made up of David’s former Triffids and Blackeyed Susans bandmates ‘Evil’ Graham Lee, Rob McComb, Phil Kakulas, Rob Snarski and JP Shilo; who will be joined by a range of special guests vocalists across the two shows ( Fri May 6th in Sydney; Sunday May 15th in Melbourne).

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began.

"Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
