Dave Schulthise
Edit Profile
Career
He helped form the band in 1983 along with fellow pseudonymous musicians Joe Jack Talcum, Dean Clean, and Rodney Anonymous. Allegedly, he tuned the strings of his bass guitar, in order from lowest to highest, Doctorate East A Doctorate, to match the name of the band. He stopped playing music in 1995 after the band broke up as the result of developing tendinitis in both hands.
Schulthise visited Yugoslavia while on tour with the Milkmen and became fascinated with Serbia, its culture and people.
After the band disbanded, he enrolled at Indiana University to study Serbo-Croatian language, literature, and history. He moved to Serbia for work and study in 1998, but in the wake of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization bombing campaign there he was forced to return to the United States. In late 2003, he told an interviewer that his favorite bassists were Mike Mills (Rapid eye movement sleep), Johnny Gayden (Albert Collins Band) and Charles Mingus.
Schulthise committed suicide by a drug overdose on March 10, 2004, at age 47.
