That would've been Bechdel wouldn't it? 

 

I don't think Dave played with them past the Brighter Suns era

i heard someone lit him on fire,maybe it was Raven,dunno if that's
true,but hilarious either way.Dave was nice and a bit stand offish the
few times i met him,i got the feeling the band bullied him a bit,and
dunno if it was true,but he seemed timid,but nice enuf,extremities era.

Time for my Dave Kovacevic story again! Its been a few years since I
posted this, so time for a pearoast....

Many years ago I played a gig at the George Robey (sp?) in that there
London. We were the 'headline' band, and were getting stoned in one of
the back rooms while the 'support' band were on. (This was back in the
'pay-to-play' days, so who got to go on last depended on how many
people you had brought with you - we'd turned up with a coach load, so
we got the prime slot!). Not long into their set, I realise they're
playing Wardance, so I venture out into the main hall to watch.

Their set consisted of mainly KJ covers, interspersesd with songs that
sounded very much like KJ covers. Actually, it was pretty good. This
was around Extremities era, and I remember them doing a fine cover of
Intravenous. The only problem was, that the singer really thought he
WAS Jaz! He was trying too much to emulate Jaz's stage persona - the
hand gestures, the eyes, the convulsing and manic presence - but he
just didnt cut it. Wasnt convincing at all. Looked like a bit of a tit
really.

After they had finished playing, I tried to approach the singer, but
he wasnt having any of it, and flounced away in a flurry of self
importance. So I went over to the guitarist, who, to be fair, had done
a pretty decent Geordie impression, and was much friendlier (he was a
bit of a chubby crusty type as I remember, with straw coloured dread
locks). He informed me that their singer was none other than Dave
Kovacevic, who was (and I quote) "a member of Killing Joke for 7
years". I always remember Raven referring to him as 'Dave, Dave the
keyboard slave'!

They didnt even have the decency to stick around to watch us play
either!

Jesus music was the last place I would expect to find a former KJ
