Biography

Shave is a band of like minded musicians from Long Beach who believe in making guitar driven, lyrically entertaining, high energy rock. Drawing on influences as diverse as The Ramones and Jimi Hendrix, lyrically ambitious as Frank Zappa or Ween. Compositionally they can be as challenging as Brahms and Led Zeppelin, or as simple as Motley Crue or Beck. Shave acheives a blend of music that is at once familiar yet uniquely their own. Never derivative of popular music or the “genre of the month”, Shave consistently makes music that sounds only like Shave.

Shave formed in Long Beach in 1993 when Dave Cornblum and Dave Shea met Steve Cross and Rob Fadtke (Long Beach Cake) through mutual friends in the band Sublime. Cross and Fadtke became the rhythm section for the Daves’ existing acoustic material. Soon the band began writing songs together and perfoming live.(hear Shave’s 1993 Discover Yourself’s self titled song Shave)

“We took any gig we could get. One of my favorite early gigs was opening for Sublime and The Mentors at The Golden Sails on Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach. There were about 600 people there, and I played fuzz bass through Eric’s amp. I think everybody got laid that night” - Elder D.

In 1994 Shave recorded their first tape “Discover Yourself”. It was mixed by Miguel of Skunk Records. The songs were all recorded on one take and Skunk Records gave us a stamp of approval.
