Dave Demerjian: Guitars, keyboards, vocals
The other original Thief member, Dave is a study in perseverance as he has never allowed his obvious lack of musical talent to keep him from attaining his life-long dream of playing in a third-rate local rock band. The resident smart-ass, Dave can often be heard making up obscene lyrics, rudely interrupting Rudy’s between song banter and shouting out over the P.A. system whatever lurid thought happens to pop into his deranged brain. Whenever the other members threaten to take his microphone away, Dave is quick to remind them that: 1) it’s his microphone; 2) that he is the only one who knows how to work the P.A. system; and 3) that he is the fifth-best singer in the band and that their "sound" will surely suffer if he is not allowed to add his special vocal stylings.
Little known fact about Dave: for the past 26 years he has seriously considered embarking on a solo career. (Actually, the other members of the band have been begging him to go out on his own for 25 of those years, even offering to finance his first tour).
