Birthday - Mar 31
Dave was playing live shows in Sydney's pubs long before he was old enough to drink in them. At age 16 he was playing in a top 40 covers band 3 nights a week. By 18, Dave was playing in hard rock indie band 'Ya Ya Choral' which released two albums and did a 30 date UK tour, including a few shows in his hometown in Wales.

Being a hard rock drummer places pretty heavy demands on a guy regarding hair length and Dave threw himself into the roll…stubbornly refusing to cut it even now.

After YYC drifted into oblivion Dave played in several other bands, including one called 'Space Date' which opened for some of the very first performances of his good mates…TOFOG. Dave was also working for TOFOG as a camera man and before long found himself doubling as drummer.
