Witch Taint’s Debut Music Video for “Are You Ready (to Black Metal)?”
Posted on 3rd August 2018


Hi. It’s Dave again. I am excited to share with you the debut music video from my extremely extreme Norwegian black metal band from Gary, Indiana, Witch Taint, the band inspired by my Black Metal Dialogues emails. The video also features my Witch Taint partner Phil Costello aka Matthias Backwards and comedian Clare O’Kane. This is the best song and video. We made it to celebrate our debut at the legendary Wacken Open Air Festival in Wacken, Germany, which is awesome.

Dark regards,
Dave Hill

Live from Here with Chris Thile, June 16, 2018
Posted on 18th June 2018


Hi. It’s Dave again. Anyway, I had the great thrill of performing this past weekend on Live from Here with Chris Thile at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, Washington along with Ben Folds, Wye Oak, Tom Papa, Gaby Moreno, and a bunch of other fine folks. It was a super blast and there were snacks and everything. You can watch my set above or listen to the whole episode here. And, if your on-the-go lifestyle precludes you from listening to the whole show, you can skip ahead to my segments if you want. I mean, I’m not suggesting that- I’m just pointing it out because I can’t believe the technology exists. The future is now!

Have an unstoppable day,
Dave Hill

Pedal Talk
Posted on 4th June 2018


Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting at an undisclosed location to test out the new Earthquaker Devices Pyramids flanger pedal before almost anyone else on earth knew it even existed. You can watch the whole thing about, including a cameo from the great Matt Sweeney, above. Also, I have my very own artist page on the EQD site now. Take that, everyone from high school!

Love,
Dave Hill

“Boy Band” Trailer on AV Club
Posted on 21st May 2018


As rumored on the Internet, I am starring in a hilarious new movie about an aging, washed up boy banc called Boy Band along with my buddies Steve Agee, Jordan Carlos, Seth Herzog, Dave Gruber Alan, and a ton of other fine folks. The Onion’s AV Club just debuted the trailer for the trailer for the movie and you can watch it there and get the full scoop. Or, if you’re on-the-go lifestyle prohibits you from going to another website, you can watch the trailer above. I am on your side. You got this, gorgeous!

Have an unstoppable day,
Dave Hill (from show business)

Now THAT’S Acting!
Posted on 6th April 2018

Dave Hill- Actor's Reel from Dave Hill Explosion on Vimeo.

As many of you who have been following my career from the very beginning are well aware, I am one of the greatest thespians of all-time. In keeping with that, I now have a new “acting reel” showcasing some of my most spine-tingling appearances in films and television programs, including such stuff as Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Tick, Inside Amy Schumer, and then a bunch of stuff besides that stuff. Anyway, you can watch it above. I hope you enjoy it so much. And if someone could text this link to Scorsese or something that would be great. I thank you for your time.

And scene,
Dave Hill

The WFMU Fundraising Marathon Is On (Help Keep the GDDHS on the Air!)
Posted on 6th March 2018


As hinted at in the subject line, WFMU, the home of my global radio assault known as the Goddamn Dave Hill Show, has kicked off its annual fundraising marathon. The station, as you probably know, is an independent, free-form, not-for-profit radio station that relies entirely on listener donations to stay on the air and in your hearts. There are no government grants, corporate interests, or mysterious mustachioed svengalis with complicated hair keeping the whole thing afloat as part of some nefarious plan, which is why I now ask you, dear reader (and hopefully also a listener) to do what you can to support WFMU, the greatest station in the land, and the Goddamn Dave Hill Show, the show I do for free every week whether I am emotionally qualified or not. You can help you by donating here. There are all sorts of incredible gifts and prizes you can get depending on how much you are up for giving, including my gravity-defying DJ premium for this year, a set of three 3-inch embroidered patches designed by one of my all-time favorite artists, Danny Hellman, and inspired the show, including a patch for my prison gang the Ramen Gang and a patch for GDDHS show MVP caller and legend YngDave. These patches are pictured above and will look great on anything and everything and will probably get you laid or at least invited to brunch somewhere. So enough reading, more donating! Thank you for being a force of good in this world. I find you every attractive.

Love,
Dave Hill
