Shave

Real Name: Dave Hoar

Position: Sat at the back.

Gear Used: Pearl Export drum kit in wine red.
22" kick drum, 14X5½" snare, 12", 13" & 16" toms.
Zildjan rock crash, paper thin crash & high hats.
Paist Brass Tones crash & ride.
- oh yes and a cheesy Tiger Skin seat!

Influences: My musical influences over the years, alongside Ska, have included The Jam, Cocteau twins, The Cure, Nirvana, Radio Head & more recently Green Day, Queens of the Stoneage, Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl is my hero), Stereophonics and Kings Of Leon.

Musical background: After briefly flirting with punk at a tender age my first main musical influence was 2 Tone with the Specials & Madness being my favourite bands.
My first musical hero was Lee ‘Kix’ Thompson Madness’ sax player. I bought a tenor sax on HP & paid for it with a paper-round that I took over from Moggs. This is how I met Moggs and joined the band.
I was saxophonist and singer up to the time when I left to work in Swansea.
When we reformed, the band needed a drummer and not a saxophonist (a combination of descending testicles and 20 fags a day had put paid to my singing career). As I had messed around on drums a bit at school I was volunteered.
Jon had an old kit and I learned as we went along and found a new love. I’m not a technical drummer and my sylph like gymnastic figure means I’m the only drummer on the South Coast with projectile sweat and a cardiac shocker on standby.
Eventually we replaced the biscuit tins with the Pearl Export Kit.
