  Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Vampiress 1 Shadowchylde has been an evolving band and has been in existence
since 1998. 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
Maryland 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 in Baltimore.
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, Maryland
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".
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".
During his tenure as Featured Artist on Spotlight, many interesting things have happened to Dave. He has recorded several albums including "Recollections Of The Chylde", an album of songs that Dave has written over the years of his life as a musician, "Gotcha Covered!", an album of acoustic cover songs, "Living With The Killer's Name", a concept album with an interesting moral lesson, and "Tributes", his second covers album featuring songs of the past as well as present day tunes all of which have inspired Dave in his own songwriting.
He has also met many talented individuals such as Janell Lace, Debi Lynn, Paul Booth Johnson, and Sage Melodee through Spotlight and their association with the chat program Paltalk. However, the best thing to happen to Dave during his time on Paltalk was meeting his wife, Nenny, who he married on 26 April 2006 and with whom he also wrote and recorded his latest completed album, "Judgement Day", an album which condemns certain people and ideals while showing affection and love to others with a few laughs along the way.
At present, Dave has relocated to Nottingham, England and has finally found the needed musicians to fill out the lineup so Shadowchylde can start gigging again.
