Don't Kill The Beast, Basel Bands

Our guest tonight was singer and guitarist David Blum of Don't Kill The Beast. Originally a solo project, David turned Don't Kill The Beast into a four-man band in 2015, with drummer Matthias Gusset, guitarist Marco Naef and guitarist Matthias Renner. They released new album Cupid Bite in November 2017 - an album about love in all its variations. You can buy Cupid Bite on Bandcamp; or contact the band on their Facebook page for a physical copy.

David is also the bassist in Sheila She Loves You and Moonpools.

He talked to us about being involved in many music projects, how he writes his songs, and why he sings in English.

We were also thrilled to hear a live version of the song Bridges, with backing vocals from Marcie Nyffeler and Matthias Gusset.

Catch Don't Kill The Beast on January 19th in Schaffhausen; on February 2nd in Stäfa; on February 4th in Chur and on March 3rd in Zurich.
