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.

“Tomorrow let loveless, let lover tomorrow make love;
O spring, singing spring, spring of the world renew!
In spring lovers consent and the birds marry
When the grove receives in her hair the nuptial dew.”
