   About David Schwab
I've been playing bass and guitar since 1969... formed the 1970's NJ/NY cover band "Dreamer" (which is still around... yikes!).

Formed the 1980's original new wave band "The Jetsonz" which later became the more goth "Expresso Tango" in which I was the main song writer, along with singer/lyricist Debbie Cola. The Jetsonz/Expresso Tango had a loyal following, and was the opening act for such 80's bands as: Billy Idol, The Violent Fems, Wall of Voodoo, The Waitresses, The Bongos, Our Daughter's Wedding, Ebn Ozn, Alien Sex Fiend, and Peter Tork (the Monkees)...

After that I played guitar in a strange alt/pop/metal band Fetish. In the 90's I was in the band Blue.

I'm also available for gigs/sessions/etc. (bass/guitar/vocals)

I'm also a guitar maker and a graphic/web designer.

i think we are lucky to live these lives we lead. to be a part of the cultural, political and scientific conversation of our time, while able to work one's way through life basically supporting oneself through their art. amazing! frustrating sometimes? yes. unfair sometimes...what isn't? know we are blessed. that is why it is imperative that we speak up. it is our responsibility for being so blessed.
