At our performances I am completely there on purpose and wish only for literally everyone to have a great time. I’m an unlikely front man, and for me that’s a great thing.

Dave’s heavy, aggressive style of rock drumming has rewarded him many studio hours recording for radio, television, and numerous bands as well as garnering him some BMA’s of his own. Dave was the youngest ever to win ‘Top Hard Rock Drummer’ in 1989, and won again in 2005.
He recently completed a four-continent tour with ‘Jeff Scott Soto’ (of ‘Yngwie Malmsteen’, ‘Talisman’) and currently can be seen in Buffalo with ‘SuperCharger’, as well as ‘Dead Or Alive’ and other projects on occasion. The summer of 2009 sees Dave as the touring drummer for ‘ALCATRAZZ featuring GRAHAM BONNET’, the spawning ground for Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, among others. Check out Dave’s personal Facebook and MySpace pages for more info including upcoming Jeff Scott Soto and Alcatrazz performances.
While with McCarthyizm I traveled throughout the United States and Canada, playing concerts in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles and Toronto. I have shared the stage with bands like the 10,000 Maniacs, Eddie Money, Gin Blossoms, The Smithereens, along with Canadian favorites like Crash Test Dummies, Jason Plumb, Spirit of the West, Hawksley Workman, Wide Mouth Mason, The Headstones, and The Lowest of the Low.
I am constantly trying to improve my craft and my bass tone for that matter! When I have some free time from gigging and recording you can often find me immersing myself in music history/theory books. While often called upon as a ‘Rock’ player, I have a secret passion to play Motown, Blues and Jazz. But don’t tell the other guys, that will be our little secret…
I have been playing with both Joe and Dave Dzialak for about 10 years. I am brand new to the Bobby Mejak world and thus far it has been an absolute pleasure working with him. That’s about it for now. I look forward to seeing all of you out at the shows! For more info on McCarthyizm please check www.mccarthyizm.com
Cheers!

Originally I started only on guitar, but while jamming with the band ‘The Jukes’ I started singing lead… Later, I founded, played guitar, and sang lead vocals in the original band ‘Burn’ in the mid 90’s. After that, I became the lead singer/guitarist in the trio Dreamland, then went on to form Eve’s Apple, and Last Revolution. I also ran the Tuesday night open mic at Brennan’s Bowery Pub in Williamsville, NY for three and a half years.
In addition to performing in SuperCharger, where I play lead guitar, and add sonic textures and lots of harmony vocals, I also work on various projects in my home studio with other bands and projects both locally and nationally.
