Son of Dave appeared on BBC television’s Later…with Jools Holland in 2005, performing the song “Hellhound” before recording the song a few years later on the album “03“. His 2003 album 02 has been described as a mix of “cotton-pickin’ blues, vocalising beat-box, hard-breathing folk, steamy funk and even modern R&B”. A song from 02, “Devil Take My Soul”, which features chorus vocal by Martina Topley-Bird, was featured in the Warner Bros film License to Wed, starring Robin Williams. In 2010 the track “Shake A Bone” from the album of the same title, recorded by Steve Albini was featured on season 3 episode 11 of Breaking Bad.

In 2010, Son of Dave and his song “Revolution Town” were featured in a commercial for the search engine Bing.[5] The commercial, using a first-person perspective, shows Son of Dave using Bing and his Windows-enabled phone to travel to his own concert at the Someday Lounge in Portland, OR. In 2016 the track “Voodoo Doll” from the album Shake A Bone was featured as the last song in the first episode of Preacher, an AMC series based on the comic book of the same title.
