Here's what Dave had to say about his time in the Melvins and his current musical dealings:
 
−
<blockquote><small>I rehearsed with the Melvins in an industrial building located in the
 
−
Hunter's Point Neighborhood of San Francisco. Dale and Buzz liked to
 
−
rehearse late, so we'd get out there around 11 or midnight. One night we
 
−
were held up at gun point after some knuckle-head rocker left the security
 
−
gate propped open for his friends. Dale was fast enough to fling a drum
 
−
stick at his eye, blinding him, then Buzz kicked him in the gut. The gunman
 
−
fell into the hallway and I slammed the steel-reinforced door shut.
 
−
Whew...that was close.<br/>

−
Shows I played: We opened for Ice-T at 1015 Folsom in SF. We also played 2
 
−
warm up shows in SF (Nightbreak & Kennel Club) before doing a west coast
 
−
tour from San Diego to Seattle. I think the best shows were in Seattle,
 
−
where we headlined the Crocodile, and a KISS cover band opened the show. The
 
−
bass player let me use his scooped 18" 500 Watt Peavey bass amp, plus Ernie
 
−
from the Nirvana road crew brought over Krist Novoselic's ultra high wattage
 
−
2X15 cabinet for me to use. So I had all this plus the 1X18 cabinet that we
 
−
had on tour. Fucking MASSIVE! By far the most massive bass rig I have ever
 
−
used. By the end of the show the back of my skull hurt from getting pounded
 
−
by the low frequencies. Luckily our sound man twisted up a 'gar and made it
 
−
go away. After the show I was hanging with Dale, Krist and Peter Buck in the
 
−
small bar in the back. The show in Longview was cool, mostly because it was
 
−
filmed and appeared in the movie Hype! Mudhoney played and I can't remember
 
−
who else. It was at a horse race track of some kind and all the kids were slamming
 
−
in the dirt.<br/>

−
Right now I'm involved in several musical projects--

[http://www.davesharp.com The Dave Sharp Quartet] and [http://www.25suaves.com/ 25 Suaves]. I've also formed an acoustic group called Acoustic Odyssey. We play Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin tunes (and original tunes)on banjo, dobro, upright bass, violin and guitar...It's all instrumental and it's designed around having fun...</small></blockquote>
