about
David Candy is a fictional pseudonym of Ian Svenonius (variously a member of The Nation of Ulysses, Make Up, Weird War and Chain and the Gang). Only one album was released under the name David Candy, Play Power. The character of David Candy was part of a series of "Magazine-Style Records" which included other imaginary acts such as Death by Chocolate, Maria Napoleon, and Lollipop Train. The David Candy persona is that of a pretentious, over-opinionated, egotistical, self-absorbed, pseudo-intellectual hipster. This choice of character traits may have been a form of self-mockery by Svenonius, or perhaps a commentary on the personalities of the indie rock scene in general. Much like the assumed personas and personalities of all of Svenonius' bands and projects, a make-believe mythos surrounds the character of David Candy.
