Shadowchylde

Shadowchylde has been an evolving band and has been in existence for going on 4 years. The original lineup consisted of Dave Pallister (Guitar and vocals), Brian Vargas (Bass and vocals), and Dave Biddle (Drums). At it's inception, Shadowchylde was a cover band playing songs by Creed, Metallica, Kiss, James Gang, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their first gig was playing open mic nights at a bar in Glen Burnie, MD called Crossroads where they eventually became a staple act and allowed other musicians to get up and jam with them on a wide variety of songs. After an unfortunate incident that saw Dave Biddle depart the band, Dave and Brian recorded a 5 song EP of all original material called "Mixed Emotions" and sent it off to Matt Davis of 98 Rock. Matt decided it was good enough to play on his local artist show called "Noise In The Basement" where he played the song "Suffer". After they recorded "Mixed Emotions", Dave and Brian had an amicable parting of the ways and Dave moved to Westminster, MD where he continued writing music and eventually had enough to record his first full length album called "The Sleeping Chylde Awakes". Since he had no idea how to promote it at first, it simply got passed around to some of his friends, one of whom suggested he put it up on the Internet and go play it on Paltalk. He was a bit leary about having it on the 'net but he did take his friend's advice and started going into music rooms on Paltalk where he was "discovered" by a DJ for Kansas City Internet Audio called "The Voice". He recorded a second album during his tenure as the "first New Artist on KCIA" called "The Chylde Discovers Love" which was entirely inspired by Kimberly Kauffman and extenuating circumstances surrounding his relationship with her. Dave later discovered that KCIA didn't have all their ducks in a row but he was very happy when they brought someone new on as the "New Artist Director". Her name was Stormy Nyght and it took her even less time to realize how messed up KCIA was so she took all the new artists, including Shadowchylde, and started her own station called "The Spotlight". She also started up her own management company and Dave made the best decision he could've made and signed a contract to have Stormy as his manager and she has since provided an opportunity for Shadowchylde to play the Christmas benefit concert in Columbia, Tennessee... At present, Dave is in the process of writing and recording his third full length album which is tentatively titled "Recollections Of The Chylde" and he hopes to have it available prior to going to Tennessee...

unfortunately, I don't play live anymore but the last gig I played was totally magick. We were opening up for another local band and we totally blew 'em off the stage!
