Dave Blood, otherwise known as Dave Schulthise, was the bassist for the punk band Dead Milkmen. He helped form the band in 1983 along with fellow pseudonymous musicians Joe Jack Talcum , Dean Clean , and Rodney Anonymous . Prior to this he was a Ph.D. candidate in economics at Purdue University.

He stopped playing in the early 1990s after the band broke up. Dave would never play again as the result of developing tendonitis in both hands.

Of Yugoslavian extraction, Dave then travelled to study in Serbia, but in the wake of the NATO bombing campaign there he was forced to return to the US.

In late 2003, he told an interviewer his favorite bassists included Charles Mingus.

Dave committed suicide March 10, 2004 at age 47.
