He has also produced and co-written albums for other artists, including Mosman Alder. Dempsey has experienced bouts of clinical depression and periods of writer's block, both of which have been publicised. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane noted that he "has the capacity to lay his soul bare through his music, there is little pretence or adherence to fashionable measures in the band’s delivery".In 2006 he married Stephanie Ashworth (ex-Sandpit), who is Something for Kate's bass guitarist. In November 2014, Dempsey said that his all-time favorite band is Fugazi.
