Dave Hause

In the mid-90s, Hause played guitar in a Philadelphia-based hardcore/punk band called Step Ahead, which released one album. After they broke up, Hause and Brendan Hill, the drummer from Step Ahead, formed The Curse. The Curse, which featured Hause on guitar and sharing vocals, released two songs on the four-way split album The Philadelphia Sound and released a six-track EP on Hell Bent Records before playing their last show on April 12, 2003, opening for Kid Dynamite. While with The Curse, he also played guitar and sang back-up vocals for Paint It Black.
