Dave Derby's musical career began auspiciously as lead singer and bassist of 90's Boston-based alt-rock heroes the Dambuilders, a band once decreed by Spin Magazine to be the best "indie band in America." Shortly thereafter, the Dambuilders inked a major label deal (East-West/Elektra), released several critically acclaimed albums and imploded in the middle of a final fateful American tour. Returning to his new home in New York City, Derby recorded his first solo outing under the moniker Brilliantine and released two albums ("Vainglory" and "My Life and the Beautiful Game.")
Dave released his first acclaimed solo record "Even Further Behind" on Badman in 2003. Produced by Derby, Michael Kotch (Vitamin C, Mascott, Joanaspolicewoman, Lloyd Cole) and Thom Monahan (Pernice Brothers, Beachwood Sparks, Devandra Berrnhardt) the record was a glorious pop explosion.
"He truly is an earnest and sensitive singer-songwriter of the highest callibre...and the man has a voice to die for. " - LMNOP

As an album, Even Further Behind weaves a cohesive thread of pop sentimentality and dynamic instrumentation underlying each song. From song to song, the tone and textures shift from bittersweet Southern Californian melancholia to wry New York urgency, and back again to pop-flavored romanticism.
