Dave Robertson sings about kissing, climate change, cult 70s novels and more kissing. His thoughtful lyrics are often disarmingly literal, and simultaneously serious and playful. To quote the late Tom Robbins: “Wit and playfulness represent a desperately serious transcendence of evil. Humor is both a form of wisdom and a means of survival.” The sonics of Dave’s band The Kiss List are diverse. You could place “indie” in front of folk, pop or rock and you’d be in the ballpark depending on the song at hand. They have an extensive gig history, especially in their home town of Walyalup (Fremantle) / Boorloo (Perth), but Dave also has solo gig highlights that include the Nannup and Fremantle festivals, supporting The Basics in Tasmania and performing the song Rogue State to thousands at a Walk Against Warming rally.
