The Modern Day Lover
Following the breakup of The Titanics, Dave went solo. He released a CD of electronic doodling called The Matterhorn (2001). After that, Dave recruited a backing band called The Polaroids. David McCormack and The Polaroids have released two albums, Candy (2002) and The Truth About Love (2004) as well as a few singles and a DVD entitled Save Dave.
In November 2006, under the guidance of JJJ David assembled a band to perform a concert at the Tivoli in Brisbane as a tribute for the late Grant McLennan of The Go-Betweens.
In early 2007, David then went into the studio to produce a tribute album to the Go-Betweens called "Write Your Adventures Down". Sony BMG released the album.
Dave has also managed to compose two film scores. Firstly he worked on Alex Proyas's gritty Sydney polemic Garage Days in 2002, and in 2006 Daniel Krige's West.
In October 2009, David released the long awaited new album "Little Murders" which contains 20 tracks and runs for almost an hour. The name comes from a 1969 film.
Currently David is a part owner of the composer collective and has been responsible for many Film and Television scores: The Tall Man, Rake, Redfern Now, House Husbands, Wild Boys and Blood Brothers to name a few.

Famous quotes containing the words modern, day and/or lover:
“Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take. That bucketing-out process has yet to begin in our contemporary culture.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)
“What a hundred years is not enough to build, one day is more than enough to destroy.”
—Chinese proverb.
“It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
