Who is Jesse Davidson?
Jesse Davidson is mainly the recording project of myself, Jesse Davidson. I've recently been joined by Benhámin Zubreckyj on the drums.
I sound like...
Think Grizzly Bear, Mac DeMarco and Local Natives.
Our first gig was...
My first ever gig outside of school was supporting the Salvadors at the Gov in Adelaide. I played very early and to not many people with some friends I knew from school. It was terrifying; I forgot many lyrics.
In the studio we usually...
Like to get out the sheesha and just start smoking hard for a good three hours before even touching an instrument. I find that it really helps my vocal performances.
If I could tour with anyone...
I would tour with Linkin Park or the Real Slim Shady.
Social media is...
Moist and exciting. The future is now!
To date, my most embarrassing moment was...
Well, there was one time that I decided that it would be really funny to play the recorder in between songs instead of engaging in stage banter. It didn't go down well, the crowd just didn't understand the poetic beauty of the recorder.
If you’ll have me on your bill, all I ask is that the rider contains...
A nice, cold glass of Schraderbräu.
The most scary scenario I've found myself in was... This situation wasn't really that scary but when I toured with Mac DeMarco I accidentally left my bag with half my clothes and my shoes in it in Melbourne. Luckily a friend travelled to Sydney the same day that I played the show and I was able to get it back. The scary part was thinking that I would have to wear thongs for the remainder of the tour.
What celebrity would you love to be spokesperson of the band...
Steve Zahn circa 'That Thing You Do'. I think that Steve Zahn is my spirit animal.
