Dave Palamaro began his drumming career in the 5th grade when he was forced to join the elementary school band. He was customarily ridiculed by classmates for dragging his large snare drum up and down the school stairs. From that moment on, Dave was forever labeled "Band Fag".

Not to be dismayed, Dave Palamaro converted his social angst into hard work. He joined several high school bands with names like "100%", "Us", "InnerVisions", and "The Jon Kuhar All-Stars".

Upon graduating high school (late), Dave joined the semi-known Philadelphia punk band, "Cabbage-A-Go-Go". "Cabbage", as their fans knew them, played several classic gigs at the South Street dive bar, The Bacchanal. Upon many a night, Cabbage-A-Go-Go front man Wigley Fred could be seen smashing washing machines with sledge hammers and heaving toast at the audience.

For some reason Cabbage-A-Go-Go never "made it" and Dave was forced to join the US Army Band. There, he learned how to fight communists. After a break from music called college, Dave moved to LA.

Dave Palamaro is currently in the Los Angeles band, the O.A.O.Ts and strives to hide behind cymbals when photographed.
