Who I Am:
My name is Dave Colbert and I often work under the brand that I am developing: Rabid Gorilla. For since 2014 I have been taking my video camera to small, DIY (Do It Yourself) , independent punk music shows in Central and Southern Maine. I publish the videos on YouTube and promote them on social media. So far, I have recorded over 150 performances of both visiting and local acts. In doing this, I have made several friends and connections in the Maine music scene and been amazed at the undiscovered talent I’ve come across. I hope to expose to the world some of the finest music being made today.
I was born in Massachusetts, the youngest of five, but we moved to Jonesport, Maine when I was ten. After dropping out of college in 1990, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island and then Boston. After ten years in the cities, I moved back to Maine where I have been ever since.
My resume is long and assorted. I’ve spent many years with a headset on while providing customer service to banking and telephone customers. I started my own video rental business before the age of streaming and I spent several years working for a company that makes the metal rings that go inside of Christmas wreaths. I am currently working as a ‘budtender’ at a recreational cannabis dispensary.
Rabid Gorilla has been my website since 2010 and I have used it as a training ground to learn HTML and later, WordPress. It has always been about sharing music in one way or another and in the future I hope to expand to other forms of media.
Most recently, I have ventured into acting, gone to school for graphic design and photography, and I am trying to be more active as an internet personality through my blog and social media outlets
