  • Dave Riley (born July 30, 1960) is an American musician. Originally from Detroit, Riley worked as an assistant audio engineer for George Clinton's stable of Parliament-Funkadelic bands. He is credited on albums Trombipulation and The Electric Spanking of War Babies. He also occasionally served as a session musician for friends. In the early eighties, he relocated to Chicago where he played various musical instruments in several bands including Savage Beliefs. He joined Big Black playing bass guitar in 1984. A year later, he produced and played saxophone on the Ward EP by End Result. A stroke—from which he has largely recovered with his cognitive processes fully intact—befell him in 1993. Reports of a failed suicide attempt or a drug overdose were patently untrue; there is a history of early stroke on his mother's side of his family. In 2003, Riley moved to Warsaw, Illinois. The following year he released CD Groove On the Mania! under the guise Miasma of Funk. 2004 also marked the publication of his book Blurry and Disconnected: Tales of Sink-Or-Swim Nihilism. Contortmedia published an updated edition of Blurry and Disconnected in early 2006. (en)
