Shadowchylde has been an evolving band and has been in existence for going on 6 years. The original lineup consisted of Dave Pallister (Guitar and vocals), Brian Vargas (Bass and vocals), and Dave Biddle (Drums). At it's inception, Shadowchylde was a cover band playing songs by Creed, Metallica, Kiss, James Gang, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their first gig was playing open mic nights at a bar in Glen Burnie, MD called Crossroads where they eventually became a staple act and allowed other musicians to get up and jam with them on a wide variety of songs.

After an unfortunate incident that saw Dave Biddle depart the band, Dave and Brian recorded a 5 song EP of all original material called "Mixed Emotions" and sent it off to Matt Davis of 98 Rock. Matt decided it was good enough to play on his local artist show called "Noise In The Basement" where he played the song "Suffer".

After they recorded "Mixed Emotions", Dave and Brian had an amicable parting of the ways and Dave moved to Westminster, MD where he continued writing music and eventually had enough to record his first full length album called "The Sleeping Chylde Awakes". Since he had no idea how to promote it at first, it simply got passed around to some of his friends, one of whom suggested he put it up on the Internet and go play it on Paltalk. He was a bit leary about having it on the 'net but he did take his friend's advice and started going into music rooms on Paltalk where he was "discovered" by a DJ for Kansas City Internet Audio called "The Voice". He recorded a second album during his tenure as the "first New Artist on KCIA" called "The Chylde Discovers Love" which was entirely inspired by Kimberly Kauffman and extenuating circumstances surrounding his relationship with her.

Upon discovering that KCIA was not what he expected, Dave parted ways with them and made a bold move out on his own. He recorded his 3rd full length album called "Recollections Of The Chylde" and even had enough steam to run off an album of varied cover songs which he calls "Gotcha Covered".

At present, Dave is in the process of recording his fourth full length album entitled "Living With The Killer's Name" which is a concept album that will sound far and above anything Shadowchylde has done in the past..
