History
Started playing in grade 4, guitar teacher organised a few of us to start playing AC/DC,
Black Sabbath, Metallica etc. In year 8 we started Mables Blue Rinse playing rock and
punk covers. Played Bass in Fatal Dose 50 ( Hardcore, metal crossover band ) in year
10. From there I started playing in Circle of Hate which was my first real metal band.
We played until about 2001. I am currently playing in Demonhead
Reason for leaving In Malice's Wake
In October '04, Dave's other band 'The Catwalk Syndrome' (now defunct) were gaining much momentum, sometimes two shows
on certain weekends. As such, Dave found it difficult to juggle being in two bands on top of his already busy
schedule, and Dave and the band mutually decided that it would be best if we parted ways. Dave then went on to record
guitar tracks for 'Blackened Skies' and played a few explosive final shows with In Malice's Wake.
In Malice's Wake are very appreciative of the work dave put into the band during the early days and wish him great success with his current band Demonhead.
